As Cælia rested in the shade (A Pastorall Dialogue betwixt Cleon and Cælia)

Be gone, be gone thou perjured man (No Constancy in Man)

Cælia, thy bright Angel's face (The Celestiall Mistress)

Cloris your selfe you so excell (To the same Lady, singing the former Song)

Lovely Chloris through thine eyes (Love above Beauty)

Live Performance


Amarantha sweet and fair

Ariadne

As Caelia rested in the shade

Be gone, be gone thou perjur’d man

Caelia thy bright Angel’s face

Chloris your self you so excell

Come my Lucasta - mezzo-soprano

Come my Lucasta - tenor

A Dialogue on a Kiss

Fantasy

Give me more love, or more disdain

I long to sing the Siege of Troy

It is not that I love you lesse

Lovely Chloris though thine eyes

Till I beheld fair Caelia’s Face

Venus, redress a wrong (1653)

Venus, redress a wrong (manuscript variant)

When thou poor Excommunicate

While I listen to thy Voyce
