Sacred songs

As by the Streames of Babilon Author of Light Babylon streams (Psalm 51) Lift up to heav'n sad wretch thy heavy sprite Lo, when back mine eye, pilgrim-like, I cast

Lord have mercy upon me Never weather-beaten sail Seek the Lord Sing a song of joy View me Lord, a work of thine

Secular songs

Come cheerful day Fain would I wed a fair young man Fair, if you expect admiring Here she her sacred bower adornes I care not for these ladies My love hath vowed he will forsake me

My sweetest Lesbia Now winter nights enlarge O what unhoped Shall I come, sweet love, to thee There is a garden in her face Though your strangeness frets my heart

When Laura smiles When the god of merry love Where are all thy beauties now Woo her and win her
