Some of the passengers brought books with them, and here is a ballad from one:
Barrow Faustus Dreame, or The Shepherd's Joy
Our recording of a consort song, with lyrics from Richard Johnson's Golden Garland of Princely Pleasures, 1620, one of the books thought to have been carried on the Mayflower by William Brewster.
