[XV. Neopolitan. Poore is the life that misses]
Poore is the life that misses, The louers greatest treasure
Poore is the life that misses, The louers greatest treasure,
Innumerable kisses, Which end in endlesse pleasure, Oh then if this be so,
Shall I a Virgin dye? fie no no no, fie no no no, fie no no no, fie no no no,
fie no no no, fie no no no, Oh then if this be so, Oh then if this
be so, Shall I a Virgin dye? fie no no no, fie no no no, fie no no no, fie
no no no, fie no no no no, fie no no no no.

[XVIII. Neopolitan. Dainty white pearle]
Dainty white pearle, and you fresh smiling Roses
Dainty white pearle, and you fresh smiling Roses,
fresh smiling Roses, Daintie white pearle and you fresh
smiling Roses, The Nectar sweet distilling, Oh, why are you vnwilling,
oh, of my sighes, inly firing, inly firing, Ah yet my soule her selfe in them discloses, Some reliefe, some reliefe
some reliefe thence desiring. Ah yet my soule her selfe in them discloses,
Some reliefe, some reliefe, some reliefe thence desiring. Some reliefe,
some reliefe, some reliefe thence desiring.
Madrigales
[XIX. Madrigale. Say deare, when will your frowning leaue?]
Say deare, when will your frowning leaue?
Say deare, when will your frowning leaue?
Which doth my heart of ioy bereaue, Say deare, when will your
frowning leaue? when will your frowning leaue? Which
doth my hart of ioy bereaue, which doth my hart of ioy bereaue,
To sing and play becomes you better, becomes you better, Such pleasurs makes my
hart your detter, But if you frowne, you wound my hart. And kill my soule with
double smart.
[XX. Madrigale. Loe here I leaue]
Loe here I leaue, I leaue, my hart in keeping
Loe here I leaue, I leaue, my hart in keeping, Loe
here I leaue my hart in keeping, With her that laughs
To see, to see me weeping, Oh, Oh
what comfort or treasure, Is life with her displeasure?
Breake, breake hart and dye then, Breake, breake hart and dye
then, That she which still doth paine me, may liue the more content,
the more, the more content, the more content, When griefe hath slaine me.
[XXI. Madrigale. Life tell me]
Life tell me, what is the cause of each mans dying?
Life tell me, what is the cause of each mans dying? of
Carefull griefe, mixt with crying. No, no, heart
stay thee, or care of minde dismay thee, Let no such
thought or care of minde dismay thee. Sweet hart content
thee, I can but lament thee, Thy cares are
so great, I can but lament thee. I can but lament thee.
[XXII. Madrigale. Now must I part my darling]
Now must I part my darling, Of
life and soule deceased
Now must I part my darling, Of
life and soule deceased, deceased,
And loue therewith is pleased. Oh what a death is parting?
But if the fates ordaine it, Who can refraine it? Oh, Oh, what griefe, is now
lacking? Yet needs I must be packing. Farewell, sweet
hart vnfayned, I dye to part, I dye to part, to part constrained.
FINIS.
