SATB

CONTENTS

Burst forth my tears
By a fountain where I lay
Can she excuse my wrongs
Come again sweet love doth now invite
Come away, come sweet love
Come heavy sleep
Fine knacks for ladies
Go crystal tears
If my complaints
Now o now I needs must part
Sleep wayward thoughts
Sweet stay awhile
Weep you no more sad fountains
