Madrigals and partsongs from printed collections and manuscripts. The fair young virgin : (1588)
Let others praise what seems them best : (1589)
This sweet and merry month of may : (1590)
O sweet deceit
What pleasure have great princes?
What vaileth it to rule?
Consort songs : the original versions revised for the prints of 1588 and 1589. How shall a young man?
O Lord, who is thy sacred tent?
Blessed is he that fears the Lord
Lord in thy wrath
I joy not in no earthly bliss
Though Amaryllis dance in green
Who likes to love
My mind to me a kingdom is
Where Fancy fond
O you that hear this voice
In fields abroad
Constant Penelope
La verginella
Farewell, false love
Prostrate, O Lord, I lie
Susanna fair
If that a sinner's sighs
Care for thy soul
Lullaby, my sweet little baby
Why do I use my paper, ink and pen?
Come to me, grief, for ever
O that most rare breast
See those sweet eyes
When first by force (I that sometime)
I thought that Love had been a boy
Canons. Canon two in one per arsin et thesin
Canon six in one (and four in two)
Appendix: Fragmentary songs. Ah, youthful years
Behold, how good
Cease cares
Depart, ye furies
I will give laud
If trickling tears
In tower most high
Look and bow down
O happy thrice
O trifling toys
Preces Deo fundamus
What wights are these?
While that a cruel fire
With sighs and tears
