Abstract

A collection of short songs on a variety of themes. The first song is about attending the marriage of a young couple, including a description of all the people that will be attending and the food that they will eat. The second song is distinctly political, with the author complaining about the king, the various political parties, the hypocrisy and lack of religion in the Church, the influence and theft of other nations, the lewd fashions of women, and the general disarray of affairs at home. The last two songs are shorter, about love, and determining one’s own life at home.
