A collection of songs and ballads.  The first is descriptive song of a warrior who escapes the field of battle to take refuge in a cottage and dreams of his lover’s embrace. The second ballad reminisces of the joys of young love’s passion, while in the next song a soldier recalls the beauty and love he has for his home. In another song, the life of a friar is described as a merry time, full of wine and nuns and other perks, while rather lacking in religious principles. Similarly, in the next song, a shepherds’ life is described as carefree, but the economy—and indeed everything—suffers when they fail to keep track of their sheep. In the last song, a soldier is rejected by a young woman due to his profession, to which he responds with a defense of all soldiers, citing King David as a role model.
