"The lute parts of '''A Musicall Dreame (Robert Jones)''' and '''The Muses Gardin for Delights (Robert Jones)''' are, in places, crude and dissonant. It has been suggested that, in these cases, Jones is only responsible for the melody and bass lines, but there is little external evidence to support this."

'''Original spelling, modern orthography''' 1. As I the silly Fish deceive, so Fortune playes with me, whose baites my heart of joyes bereave, and Angels taketh mee, I still doe fish, yet am I caught, and taken am, their taking taught. 2. The River wherein I doe swimme, Of streames of hope is made, Where joyes as flowers dresse the brimme, And frownes doe make my shade. Whence smiles as sun-shine gives me heat, And shadow frownes from showers beat. 3. Thus taken like an envious one, Who glads for others care, Since he himselfe must feele such mone, Delights, all, so should fare, And strive to make them know like smart, So I make this to beare apart.
