II. The Secular Monodies of Il primo libro delle musiche

[1] Ardo infelice, e palesar non tento
[2] Io mi distruggo, et ardo
[3] Lasciatemi qui solo
[4] Io veggio i campi verdeggiar fecondi
[5] La pastorella mia tra i fiori, e 'l giglio
[6] Rendi alle mie speranze il verde, e i fiori
[7] Dov'io credea le mie speranze vere
[8] S'io men vo, moriro
[9] Non so se quel sorriso
[10] Chi desia di saper che cosa e Amore
[11] Che t'ho fatt'io?
[12] O vive rose
[13] Se muove a giurar fede
[14] Ch'Amor sia nudo, e pur con l'ali al tergo
[15] Fresche aurette
[16] Dispiegate
[17] O chiome belle
