Published in An Howres Recreation in Musicke, London, 1606, and (according to the frontispiece) "framed for the delight of gentlemen and others which are well affected to that quality; all for the most part with two trebles necessary for such as teach in private families".
Lyrics: Anon

Shall I abide this jesting?
I weep, and she's a-feasting!
O cruel fancy, that so doth blind thee
To love one doth not mind thee.

Can I abide this prancing?
I weep, and she's a-dancing!
O cruel fancy, so to betray me;
Thou goest about to slay me.
