Contents:

Songs to 4 voices: Lo, here my heart I leave. Alas, what hope of speeding? What can I do, my dearest? Woe am I, my heart dies. Farewell, my love. Sleep now, my muse.

Songs to 5 voices: Ah, sweet, alas, when first I saw. Mourn now, my soul. Sound out, my voice. She that my plaints. What, shall I part thus? Sorrow consumes me. O heavens, what shall I do? Why should I love? Sweet love, O cease thy flying. That muse which sung. See what a maze of error. If pity reign with beauty.

Songs to 6 voices: Ah, cruel, hateful fortune. I love, alas, yet am I not beloved. Must I part, O my jewel? Up, then, Melpomene (words by Sir Philip Sidney) Why wail we thus? (words by Sir Philip Sidney) Sleep, now, my muse.
