 Peerson 's powerful patrons enabled him to print and publish a considerable quantity of his music , although little remains today . The only four extant keyboard pieces – " Alman " , " The Fall of the Leafe " , " Piper 's Paven " and " The Primerose " – appear in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book ( c . 1609 – c . 1619 ) , one of the most important sources of early keyboard music containing more than 300 pieces from the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods . He also set to music some of William Leighton 's verses , written by the latter while in prison for debt . Together with works by other composers , these were published as The Teares and Lamentatacions of a Sorrowfull Soule in 1614 . This was followed two years later by Tristiae Remedium , with texts assembled by the Reverend Thomas Myriell mainly using psalm texts in the English language .
