Yes, but Duffin well documents his sources in the notes for each tune, and
so it is possible to find performance versions in the Elizabethan repertory.
Such as the Marsh Lute Book, Folger, Ballet, Varietie, Playford, etc. He
must cite close to
100 manuscript sources. And a like number of early printed sources, and
"select" modern editions. There is also a CD with about half of the songs
performed with Paul O'Dette accompanying.
Duffin's book really tends towards being a reference source, and a valuable
one at that.
I checked abebooks and found copies for as little as $13. List price is
about $30.

Ross W. Duffin's "Shakespeare's Songbook" gives early settings plus tunes
from early sources made to fit the Shakespeare texts. He doesn't give
accompaniments, much less tablature for Morley, e.g.

Subject: [LUTE] Shakespeare settings
Hi, all! I'm doing a concert of Renaissance and Restoration settings
of Shakespeare lyrics, as well as including some lutesong from the
Elizabethan era - Dowland, Pilkington. I've got some Thomas Arne
settings of lyrics from As You Like It. Any other suggestions for
similar rep? There are a number of singers involved for madrigal
singing, as well as theorbo/lute and harpshichord/organ. Thanks! Ben S
