Contents

For three voices: Sit down and sing ; My flocks feed not ; In black mourn I ; Clear wells spring not ; A country pair ; Cease sorrows, now -- For four voices: Now every tree renews ; Young Cupid hath proclaimed ; Ah me! my wonted joys ; Three virgin nymphs ; Our country swains ; Lo, country sport -- For five voices: Your beauty it allureth ; If thy deceitful looks ; Those sweet delightful lilies ; Lady, your spotless feature ; Make haste, ye lovers ; What haste, fair lady -- For six voices: Retire my thoughts ; Say, dear, when will your frowning ; Those spots upon my lady's face ; If beauty be a treasure ; My tears do not avail me ; My Phillis bids me pack
