원본

At the end of this piece in the Tenor partbook. MS 987. , there is a Latin inscription. in the hand of Robert Dow. , which reads "Ut lucem solis sequitur lux proxima lunae. Sic tu post Birdum Munde secunde venis". Just as the light of the moon very closely follows the light of the sun, so you, Mundy, come second after Byrd. Instead of customarily writing the composer's name at the bottom of the piece. although "Wm Mundaie appears only at the end of the piece in the Medius partbook. MS 985. , Dow instead writes "Dies lunae", a pun on the composer's name. Dies lunae the day of the moon i. Monday, close enough to the name Mundy. bearing in mind the range of contemporary spellings of the name. for Dow to make a joke about it, but also to comment on the composer's stature in relation to Byrd. whose works far outnumber those of any other composer in Dow's collection.
