List of choral works
Adieu, sweet Amaryllis
Ah me! Can every rumour
Ah! cannot sighs nor tears
Ah! cruel Amarillis
Alas! What a wretched life
Alas, what hope of speeding
All pleasure is of this condition
And though my love abounding
As fair as morn
As matchless beauty
Away, thou shalt not love me
Change me, O heavens
Come, Shepherd swains
Cruel, behold my heavy ending
Dear pity, how?
Despiteful thus unto myself, I languish
Die, hapless man
Down in a valley as Alexis trips
Draw on, sweet night
Flora gave me fairest flowers
Fly Love aloft
Fly not so swift my dear
A silly sylvan, kissing heav'n-born fire
So light is love
Softly O! drop mine eyes
Stay, Corydon, thou swain
Sweet honey-sucking bees
Sweet love, if thou wilt gain
There is a jewel
There, where I saw her lovely beauty painted
Thou art but young, thou say'st
Thus love commands
Thus saith my Cloris bright
Unkind, O stay thy flying
Weep, O mine eyes
Weep, weep mine eyes
What needeth all this travail
When Cloris heard
When shall my wretched life
Where most my thoughts
Why dost thou shoot?
Ye restless thoughts
Ye that do live in pleasures
Yet, sweet, take heed
