John Dowland. The third and last booke of songs or aires : newly composed to sing to the lute, orpharion, or viols, and a dialogue for a base and meane lute with five voices to sing thereto
Farewell too faire --
Time stands still --
Behold a wonder heere --
Daphne was not so chaste as she was changing --
Me me and none but me --
When Phoebus first did Daphne love --
Say love if ever thou didst finde --
Flow not so fast ye fountaines --
What if I never speede --
Love stood amaz'd at sweet beauties paine --
Lend your eares to my sorrow good people --
By a fountaine where I lay --
O what hath overwrought my all amazed thought --
Farewell unkind farewell --
Weepe you no more sad fountaines --
Fie on this faining, is love without desire --
I must complaine, yet doe enjoy --
It was a time when silly bees could speake --
The lowest trees have tops --
What poore astronomers are they --
Come when I call, or tarrie till I come.
Principally for cantus and lute (in tablature). Songs for 4 voices have altus, tenor and bassus parts on confronting page; in the final selection, quintus part added at bottom of cantus.
