The words were probably selected by Sir Christopher Hatton, who may have been the author of some of them. The identified lyrics and sonnets are by Joshua Sylvester, Edmund Spenser, Walter Raleigh, and one is attributed to John Donne.

Includes reduction for pianoforte, originally "apt for viols and voyces".

The silver swan.
O that the learned poets.
I weigh not fortune's frown.
I tremble not at noise of war.
I see ambition never pleased.
I feign not friendship.
How art thou thralled.
Farewell all joys.
Dainty fine bird.
Fair ladies that to love.
Mongst thousands good.
Now each flowery bank of May.
Lais now old.
What is our life?
Ah! dear heart.
Fair is the rose.
Nay let me weep.
Ne'er let the sun.
Yet if that age.
Trust not too much, fair youth.
