Originally published with book 1, under title: Tvvo bookes of ayres. The first, contayning diuine and morall songs: the second, light conceits of louers. To be sung to the lute and viols, in two, three, and foure parts: or by one voyce to an instrvment.

In the preface to the original edition, Campion stated that "these ayres were for the most part framed at first for one voyce with the lute, or violl."
Contents Vain men whose follies -- How eas'ly wert thou chained -- Harden now thy tired heart -- O what unhoped-for sweet supply -- Where she her sacred bower -- Fain would I my love disclose -- Give beauty all her right -- O, dear, that I with thee might live -- Good men, show if you can tell -- What harvest half so sweet is -- Sweet, exclude me not -- The peaceful western wind -- There is none, O none but you -- Pined I am, and like to die -- So many loves have I neglected -- Though your strangeness frets my heart -- Come away, armed with love's delights -- Come, you pretty false-eyed wanton -- A secret love or two -- Her rosy cheeks -- Where shall I refuge seek.
