The manuscript contains numerous love poems by Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew; other poets in the volume include Sir Robert Ayton, John Wilbye, and John Fletcher. An anonymous poem consists of a pastoral dialogue between Phyllis and Strephon; several are addressed to Chloris; and numerous others are set to the tunes of other songs.
