A farewell to the world. / The words made by the Honourable Sir H. W. Composed for one voice with a flute allemande or violin and a harpsichord by James Kremberg. [ca. 1710]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/505673748

Music manuscript, probably written in the hand of composer Jakob Kremberg, who came to England from Poland shortly after 1709. The first portion of the text of this solo cantata, beginning with "Farewell ye gilded follies" and ending with "But now I wish for neither" is taken from a poem in Izaak Walton's Compleat angler, where (in its 5th edition) it is suggested that "Sir Harry Wotton" may be the author. The second part of the text is not identified.
