Navigation etc.

Though the uploader of the arrangements has put the page under the title "Thirsis to Cloris pleaded", and indeed, the ChoralWiki page gives that as the text, the actual text in the Musica Transalpina madrigal is:

Thirsis enjoyd the graces, (cf. Thirsis to Cloris pleaded)
of Cloris's sweet embraces, (cf. His tale of love, nor heeded)
yet both their joyes were scanted, (cf. That envious Night descending,)
for darke it was & candlelight they wanted (cf. Of their sweet talk full soon had made an ending)

(the rest of the lines are the same)
