No, you need to use the Dowland example I sent.   It's complicated
enough that I never remember how to do it off the top of my head, but
basically you have to set up a \lyrics{...} for the second set of
words.  If you want a verse number associated with the lyrics, you set
\property LyricsVoice . stz  or \property LyricsVoice . stanza, and
then in your score you put in a Lyrics context after the staff
context, with both sets of lyrics.  The documentation for how to do
this is in the lyrics chapter of the reference manual, under "more
stanzas".
