Byrd:

O Lord, bow down thine heav'nly eyes

My mistress had a little dog

O you that hear this voice

Content is rich

O that most rare breast

My mind to me a kingdom is

While Phoebus us'd to dwell (The noble famous Queen)

He that all earthly pleasure scorns

Out of the orient crystal skies

O Lord, how vain
