In 1607, he wrote and published a masque for the occasion of the marriage of Lord Hayes, and, in 1613, issued a volume of "Songs of Mourning: Bewailing the Untimely Death of Prince Henry," set to music by John Cooper (also known as Coperario). The same year he wrote and arranged three masques: "The Lords' Masque" for the marriage of Princess Elizabeth; an entertainment for the amusement of Queen Anne at Caversham House; and a third for the marriage of the Earl of Somerset to the infamous Frances Howard, Countess of Essex. If, moreover, as appears quite likely, his "Two Bookes of Ayres" (both words and music written by himself) belongs also to this year, it was indeed his "annus mirabilis."
