These four volumes contain all of Purcell's secular solo songs not associated with stage productions.
Taken from the authoritative Purcell Society Editions, the songs appear in their original keys, and are most suitable for high voice.

A thousand sev'ral ways
Amidst the shades
Amintas, to my grief i see
Amintor, heddless of his flocks
Benaeth a dark and melancholy grove
Bess of bedlam
Draw near, you lovers
From silent shades
He himself courts
How I sigh
I resolve against cringing
I take no pleasure
Let us, kind lesbia
Since one poor view
Since the box
What hope for us remains
Who but a slave
