We came across this on Gutenberg. The linked first-line index is nice:

The book is also available from Internet Archive ( http://archive.org/details/lyricselizaage00bulluoft ), though the Gutenberg files will be smaller, proofread and more easily copied as text.

Google Books also has the sequel work: More Lyrics from the Song-Books of the Elizabethan Age.
