I went through my copy of "The British Broadside Ballad and its Music", by Claude Simpson, looking for period or very-near-period tunes. My cut-off date was "around 1620". It was a bit fuzzy... if the tune was from 1624, but lots of references to the tune from earlier and few from later, then I'd count it. If it was from 1610 but was invariably associated with songs about the Stuarts, then I might not have put it in this list.

The list below is in alphabetical order, as are the tunes in the book itself.
