Disambiguation and confusion over dates

There's also a Lord to thee I make my moan (1597) (John Dowland) (no comma) published in Lamentatio_Henrici_Noel, (Mr. Henry Noell his funerall Psalmes) whose publication date is either 1597 or "1612 in A Pilgrimes Solace" (I can't easily verify IMSLP's data).

The present Lord, to thee I make my moan (1592) is represented by an edition that states it's based on "Esty, The Whole Booke of Psalmes, 1604", and indeed there seems to have been a 1592 printing of that book. It was all a bit confusing at first because the composer page only lists publications beginning in 1597 and Dowland's whereabouts in 1542 were unaccounted for ;-) I do think mention of the 1542 Genevan Psalter belongs in the description notes, though: is the composer of the tune anonymous?
