This isn't a Purcell suggestion, but Dowland's "Come Again" with its sexual undertones comes to mind. Also, there is a collection put out by Hal Leonard (I believe) of Renaissance songs which should be available in your local music library. Or, there are some beautiful Quilter songs with text by Shakespeare ("It Was A Lover And His Lass," a personal favorite). Good luck!
