Of Lichfield little is known, except that the dedication of his sole printed set of madrigals (from which this item comes) shows him to have been in the service of Lady Cheyney of Toddington, Beds.
Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer

Arise, sweet heart, and come away to play;
See, with flowery garlands all the meads are gay.
The pretty birds are singing,
And echo sweetly ringing.
Then, Daphne, pity me, or else I die,
If with hard heart "No, no, no, no", you cry.
