The First Booke of Songs 1597: Awake sweet love thou art returnd; Goe crystall teares; If my complaints could passions move; Come again: sweet love doth now invite; Can she excuse my wronges with virtues cloak?; Deare, if you change, lle never chuse again; All ye whom love or fortune hath betraid; Sleep wayward thoughts.
The Second Booke of Songs 1600: Flow my teares fall from your springs; If fluds of teares could cleanse my follies past;Fine knacks for Ladies,cheape, choise, brave and new; I saw my Lady weepe; First part Tymes eldest sonne, old age the heire of ease: Second part; Then sit thee downe, & say thy Nunc dimittis: third part When others singe Venite exultemus; Come ye heavie states of night; Shall I sue, shall I seeke for grace; Sorrow, sorrow, stay, lend true repentant teares.
