Contents: Glees. Gentle airs sweet joys impart ; How wretched those ; Ev'ry hour some pleasure flies ; Lifes short moments ; To Delia fill the sprightly wine ; O synge unto mie roundelay ; How happy the soul is ; Learn gentle sons ; O sir can you tell ; At the close of the day ; Happy the holy vestals lot ; Now we're met -- Duetts. Enchanting harmonist ; Wake wake my Adonis ; Sweet are the banks ; As pants the hart -- Airs. Where shall an hapless shepherd ; From glaring show ; Be mine ye cool ye peacefull groves ; How blithesome were we wont to rove ; Hush hush fair stream ; Sleep O sleep my hapless lyre -- Rotas. By the waters of Babylon ; Daughters of Jerusalem ; Prithee go master death.
