A Fancy

Can doleful notes?

Coy Daphne fled

Dost thou withdraw thy grace?

Eyes, look no more

He whose desires are still abroad

I die whenas I do not see

If I could shut the gate

Like as the Lute Delights

Mrs M E her funeral tears for the death of her husband

Now the earth, the skies, the air

Pavan in C major

Stay, cruel, stay!

The Passymeasures Galliard

Thou pretty bird, how do I see

Time, Cruel Time

What delight can they enjoy

Why canst thou not?
