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. Phyllis, farewell!-For five voices: Those sweet delightful lilies. And must I needs depart then! Sweer 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.
