Callino Casturame

From the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book – sprightly tune

Caleno custure me (also spelled Calin o custure me) is the title of a song mentioned in Shakespeare’s Henry V (IV,4). The context is on a Hundred years war battlefield, where an English soldier cannot understand his French captive and intending to answer in similar gibberish pronounces the title of the song.
