Fire Fire My Heart
Flora wilt thou torment mee
Fyre and Lightning
Goe yee my canzonets
Good Morrow, Fair Ladies of the May
Harke Alleluia!
Hould out my hart
I goe before my darling
I should for griefe and anguish
In nets of golden wyers
It was a lover and his lass
Joy, joy doth so arise
Joyne hands
La Girandola
Ladie, those eies
Lady if I through griefe
Leave now mine eyes
Lo hear another love
Love learns by laughing
Miraculous loves wounding
My bonny lass she smileth
Nolo mortem peccatoris
Now is the month of maying
O thou that art so cruell
Say deere, will you not have me?
See, see, my own sweet jewel
Shepard's Rejoice
Sing we and chant it
Sweet nymph
Those dainty daffadillies
'Tis the time of Yuletide Glee
Good morrow, Fayre Ladies of the May
What ayles my darling?
When loe by break of morning
Where art thou wanton?
