The song ‘I lov’d and am belov’d again’, written by John Eccles (ca. 1668–1735), is found in London, The British Library Add. MS 29378, fols.140v–43. At the head of the song is the inscription ‘Dialogue in the Adventures of Five Hours’. This refers to Sir Samuel Tuke’s sole literary endeavor of note, the play The Adventures of Five Hours, which had received its first performance in 1663.1¹ This article has four tasks. The first is to determine which, if any, of the play’s characters sings Eccles’ song and to locate its place within the play, since this information is not provided in the manuscript; this will be done by first examining the song itself for any clues it may yield and then examining the play’s plot in an attempt to find some moment that will satisfy both the demands of the song and the circumstances of the play. The second task is to make plausible the suggestion that ‘I lov’d and am belov’d again’ was intended to have been sung by the actress Ann Bracegirdle; examining the known relationships among her, Eccles, and Congreve will be the means for accomplishing this. The third task is to compare how ‘I lov’d’ and an alternate song, ‘Can Luciamira so Mistake’, relate, each in its own way, to Tuke’s play.2² The fourth and final task is to touch upon the careers of Bracegirdle, Congreve, and Eccles in an effort to establish a possible time frame for determining at which performance(s) of The Adventures ‘I lov’d’ may have been sung.

约翰·埃克莱斯（John Eccles）的威廉·孔格里夫（William Congreve）的“对话中的歌曲”的设定是针对塞缪尔·杜克（Samuel Tuke）的《五个小时的历险记》中的哪一场表演？

约翰·埃克斯（John Eccles）（约1668年至1735年）创作的歌曲“我爱又爱”再次在伦敦大英图书馆（The British Library Add）找到。MS 29378，第140v–43页。歌曲的开头是题词“五个小时的历险记中的对话”。这是指塞缪尔·图克爵士唯一的文学成就，即戏剧《五个小时的历险记》，该剧于1663. ^1年首次公演¹本文有四个任务。第一个是确定剧本中的哪个角色（如果有的话）演唱Eccles的歌曲，并确定其在剧本中的位置，因为手稿中未提供此信息。要做到这一点，首先要检查歌曲本身是否有线索，然后检查剧本的情节，以期找到一个既能满足歌曲需求又能满足剧本环境的时刻。第二项任务是使女演员安·布雷格吉尔（Ann Bracegirdle）唱过“我爱又爱”的建议变得合理。检查她，传教士和孔格雷夫之间的已知关系将是实现此目标的方法。第三个任务是比较“我喜欢”和另一首歌曲“ Can Luciamira so sostake”如何分别以自己的方式与Tuke的演奏联系起来。2²第四个也是最后一个任务是触及Bracegirdle，Congreve和Eccles的职业，以期确定一个可能的时间框架，以确定“我爱的冒险”的演唱会在哪几场演唱。
