I can't find anything in the usual places, either. There are plenty of tunes and songs, no doubt, with "my valentine" in their titles; but nothing pre-1600 presents itself.

On a quick look the tune doesn't appear to be in Simpson and Greg Lindahl's 16th Century Ballads site also doesn't seem to have the tune. There is an extensive entry on Deloney there and the text of the Garland Of Goodwill is given along with notes for the songs. Sadly there appears to be no note entry for Part 1, No 9 - your song!

Looking for hints as to what "My Valentine" is. Tune indicated by Thomas Deloney in 'song in praise of women'

"Song in praise of Women.

To a pleasant new Tune, called, My Valentine.

AMong all other things
that God hath made beneath the skie,
Most gloriously to satisfie the curious eye
of Mortall man withall
The sight of Eue,
Did soonest fit his fancy"
