TOLLIUS (who published as "GIOVAN TOLLIO d'AMORFORTE):
from Madrigali a sei voci, Heidelberg, 1597:
- Della veloce sona in su le sponde.
- D'acqua viva un ruscel puro e lucente.
- Anchor ch'in alto mar di scogli pieno.
- Se mai pietosa madre alcuna volta
- Tra le dolcezze e l'ire.
PHILIPPE de MONTE—from La Fiametta, Canzone insieme altri canzoni..., Venice, 1599:
- Sestina a 7: Allor che lieta l'alba adduce il giorno.
TOLLIUS—from Madrigali a sei voci, Heidelberg, 1597:
- Il dolce sonno mi promise in pace.
- I tuoi capelli, Philli, in usa cistula.
- Nella mia verde etade.
- Che fa hoggi il mio sole.
- Zefiro torna, e'l bel tempo rimena.
