At the end (ff. 98-110) are arrangements of a few of the precedina compositions, as string quintets, songs, etc., by Dr. Southgate and Sir Frederick Bridge. Among the tunes named are: "Queene Maries Dumpe" and "What if a daye." f. 26 ; "Fortune [my foe]." f. 26 b; "[My] Roben is to the greense woode gon," and "Whoope, doe me no harme." f. 27; "Daphne." f. 27b; "Salte pitts." f. 28; "Lachryme," and "The Buildings." f. 29; "Solus cum sola." f. 29 b; "The Nightingale." f. 30; "Malte man." f. 34 b; "The Kings maske." f. 35 b; "Bowe bells." f. 36 ; "The Princes Coranto." f.41; "Jemmye" (possibly name of composer). f.41b; "Lancashire pipes." f. 58 b; "Kate of Bardie" and "Pigges of Rumsey." f. 59 b; "None-such." f. 61 b; "Modicum bonum" (?). f. 62 b; "Countesse of Exeters Almaine." f. 69 b ; "La cloche." f. 74 ; "Gillie-flower." f. 76.
