Patient Grissel

Patient Grissel, or Patient Grissil, is a comedy by Thomas Dekker, written in collaboration with Henry Chettle and William Haughton in 1600. It is a variation of the Griselda folktale. More than three centuries later, Paul McCartney of the Beatles adapted a lullaby from the play, "Golden Slumbers", into a song of the same name, having encountered the sheet music for the lullaby in a book of nursery rhymes.
