Contents: For three voices: Beauty is a lovely sweet ; Love would discharge the duty ; The nightingale so soon as April ; Ah me! my mistress scorns my love ; Come follow me, fair nymphs ; Your shining eyes -- For four voices: Whither so fast? Dame Venus hence to Paphos go ; Down from above falls Jove in rain ; Adieu! sweet love, adieu! If love be blind ; Phillis, farewell! -- For five voices: Those sweet delightful lilies ; And must I needs depart then! ; Sweet Gemma (1st part) ; Yet stay alway (2nd part) ; Strange were the life ; Alas! alas! where is my love ; O fly not love ; Who prostrate lies at woman's feet ; Sister, awake ; Hark! hear you not heavenly harmony -- For six voices: Dear, if you wish my dying ; Fair Hebe, when dame Flora meets ; Phillis, farewell! Thirsis, on his fair Phillis' breast reposing ; Merrily my love and I ; Music, some think no music is ; When Oriana walk'd to take the air.
