Contents

• The first booke of songes or ayres. A womans lookes -- Fond wanton youths -- Shee whose matchlesse beauty -- Once did I loue -- Led by a strong desire -- Lie downe poore heart -- Where lingring feare -- Hero care not though -- When loue and time -- Sweete come away -- Women what are they -- Farewell deere loue -- Farewell deere loue -- O my poore eies -- If fathers knew -- Life is a poets phable -- Sweete Philomell -- That heart -- What if I seeke -- My mistris -- Perplexed -- Can modest plaine desire.
• The second booke of songs and ayres. Loue wing'd my hopes -- My loue bound me with a kisse -- O how my thoughts doe beat me -- Dreames and imaginations -- Mee thought this other night -- Who so is tide -- Fie fie -- Beautie stands further -- Now what is loue -- Loues god is a boy -- Ouer these brookes -- Whither runneth my sweet hart -- Once did I loue -- Faire women -- Daintie darling -- My loue is neither yoong nor old -- Loue is a bable -- Arise -- Did euer man -- To sigh and to be sad -- Come sorrow come.
• Ultimum vale. Doe not, o do not prize thy beautie -- Beautie sate bathing by a spring -- Goe to bed sweete muze, take thy rest -- Shall I looke to ease my griefe -- What if I sped where I least expected -- Sweete if you like and loue me still -- Sease troubled thoughts to sigh -- Scinthia queene of seas and lands -- Blame not my cheekes -- There is a garden in her face -- Sweete loue my onely treasure -- Thinkst thou Kate to put me downe -- When will the fountaine of my teares be drye -- Flye from the world -- Happy he who to sweete home retirde -- Disdaine that so doth fill me -- Now let her change and spare not -- Since iust disdaine began to rise -- At her fayre hands how haue I grace intreated -- Oft have I muzde the cause to find -- Now haue I learnd with much adoo at last.
• A musicall dreame. Though your strangenes frets my heart -- Sweet Kate of late ranne away -- Once did I serue a cruell heart -- Will said to his mammy, that he would goe woe -- Harke, harke, wot you what -- My complayning is but faining -- On a time in summers season -- Farewel fond youth, if thou hadst not beene blind -- How should I shew my loue vnto my loue -- O he is gone and I am here -- As is it night, are they thine eyes that shine -- She hath an eye, aye me -- I know not what, yet that I feele is much -- Griefe of my best loues absenting -- If in this flesh where thou indrencht dost lie -- O thred of life when thou art spent -- When I sit reading all alone -- Faine would I speake, but feare to giue offence -- In Sherwood liued stout Robin Hood.
• The muses' gardin. Loue loue -- Soft Cupid soft -- Aze I the silly fish beguile -- The fountaines smoake -- Walking by the river side -- I cannot chuse but giue a smile -- Ioy in thy hopes -- How many new yeeres haue growen olde -- There was a shepheard that did liue -- The sea hath many thousand sands -- Once did my thoughts both ebbe and flow -- I am so farre from pittying thee -- As I lay lately in a dreame -- There was a willy ladde -- My father faine would haue me take -- My loue hath her true loue betraide -- All my sence thy sweetenesse gained -- To thee deafe Aspe with dying voice -- Behold her lockes like wires of beaten gold -- Although the wings of my desire be clipt -- Might I redeeme mine errors with mine eyes.
