Song Selection:
If my complaints could passions move
Can she excuse my wrongs
Awake sweet love thou art returnd
Wilt thou unkind thus reave me of my hart
Flow my teares
O sweet woods, the delight of solitarienesse
Cleare or cloudie sweet as April showring
Say love if ever thou didst finde
What if I never speede
It was a time when silly bees could speake
The lowest trees have tops
