Adieu 478

Adieu, fond Love! 291

Admire not, Shepherd 423

A foul vice it is 59

After dark night, the 268

After long sickness 271

After long storms 285

"Ah, Lady mine!" 55

"Ah, me!" 476

A lad, whose faith 399

Alas, poor fools! 101

Albeit that men find 59

Alcilia's eyes have set 267

Alcilia said 270

All in vain is Ladies' 529

All the day, the sun 45

All their riches 492

All the night, my sleeps 45

All ye, whom love 42

A lover of the 456

Although through 57

And all the little lime 322

And for that every 56

And, furthermore, have 57

And GOD, to whom 68

And if thine Ears 525

And if those, who 491

And Love itself is 621

And, now, no more 426

And of mercy, hath 69

And O grant, thou 359

And the book 61

And this shall be the 386

And though I never 386

And though the work 260

And touching this 67

And trusteth well 63

And when he saddest 46

And when this man 56

And where men say 68

And yet although 426

And yet, I do not fear 424

And yet, if in time 507

And you, my Thoughts 35

An old proverb there 60

Another Mary then 320

Another wretch, unto 57

"Are we the two that 433

Are you false gods! 616

Are you fled, Fair! 616

As Heat to Life 648

A Shepherd in a shade 530

As Hope hath here 169

As Love had drawn 266

"A thousand lives I 401

A thousand times 275

Awake, sweet love! 46

Away with these 47

A wicked tree 60

Base servile thoughts 292

Beauty can want no 613

Behold a wonder 612

Be not proud, because 487

Be thou still 493

Betrayin not men 57

Better a thousand times 37

Blush not, my Love! 266

Both knit in one 654

Bound to none 484

Boy! ha' done! 406

Burst forth my tears! 38

"But could thy fiery 613

But fie! my foolish 426

But her in heart 62

But in her eyes 385

But in her place 321

But I will briefer 322

But kissing and 431

But let nor Nymph 405

But lest this conquest 435

But, maugre them 62

But nought, alas 262

But O, the fury 42

But, O, thrice happy! 424

But say! What fruit 383

But should I now 321

But such as will run 622

But such visions 508

But, trust me! 505

But, understandeth 70

But what can stay 34

But when Isabella 321

But why 476

But, yet, at last, I 456

But yet it is a sport 622

By a fountain where 617

By greatest titles 484

By process moveth 55

By these imperfections 506

By thine error thou 530

By this, thy tunes 520

'By thy Beauty 359

Can he prize the 428

Can Love be rich 36

Can she excuse my 36

Care that consumes 43

'Cause her fortunes seem 579

'Cause her fortunes 579

'Cause her fortune 454

Cease, cease, cease 656

Clear or cloudy 533

Clerkis feign also there 65

Cold as ice frozen 617

Cold, hold! the sun 619

Come again! Sweet 44

Come again! that I 44

Come away! come 40

Come away! come 41

"Come, gentle Death! 205

Come, heavy Sleep! 47

Come, my Muse! 381

Come, Shadow of my 47

Come, when I call 622

Come, ye heavy States 528

Come, You Virgins of 528

Cupido (unto whose 54

Daphne was not so 613

Dear! if I do 38

Dear, if you change! 38

Dear! let me die 648

Dear! when I from thee 37

Declare the griefs 273

Die not before thy day! 523

Disdain me still 648

Do as thou wouldst 100

Down her cheeks, the 509

Down vain lights! 523

Each hour, amidst 44

Each natural thing 295

Ear never heard of 405

Earth with her flowers 38

Eliza, till this hour 319

Enough of this! 275

Ere I had twice 480

"Every woman" 58

Example we have 100

Experience which 526

Failed of that hap 289

Fain would I speak 269

Fain would I tell 403

Fair is my love! 265

Fair! Since thy 453

Fair tree, but fruitless! 273

Fair with garlands 618

False World! farewell! 653

Farewell 477

Farewell, too fair! 611

Farewell, too dear! 611

Farewell, Unkind! 619

Fast fixed in my heart 262

Fear to offend forbids 271

Fie on this feigning! 620

Fine knacks for ladies! 526

Flow, my tears! 523

Flow not so fast 614

Fly, my Breast! 530

"For if thy heart 432

For if thou shalt not 493

For like two suns 455

For, lo, a dream I had 402

For Love hath kindled 404

For my heart, though 530

For next, shall thy 507

For on my chin 481

"For should we do 433

For when I waking 403

From Fame's desire 525

From silent night 653

Fulfilled be it! 71

Full hard it is 55

Gentle Henriette 321

Gentle Love draw 45

Gentle Swain! 490

God Cupid's shaft, 47

Go, nightly cares! 653

Go, wantons, now 435

Great gifts are guiles 527

Great men have helps 425

Great, or Good 455

Great, or Good, or 580

Grief, alas, though 650

Grieve not thyself 289

Had I a Mistress 405

Hail, fair Beauties! 387

Hail! thou Fairest 358

Happy are these 490

Hark, you shadows! 523

Haste hapless sighs! 39

Heart's Ease and I 272

Hence, away! 427

Her body is straight 265

Her dainty palm 431

Here may you find 259

Here Phil'aret did 488

Her fires do inward 651

Her Grace, like June 533

Her heapèd virtue 68

He's a fool, that 428

He that Courtly 491

He that in matters 295

He that hath this 100

He that receiveth all 649

His golden locks 45

His helmet, now 46

Hope by disdain 43

How friendly was 65

"How glad, and fain 401

How happy, once 290

"How might I that 614

How shall I then 34

How vain is Youth 295

Humour say I 533

I am no Italian lover 361

I am not sick, and yet 264

I am now inclined 534

I die! 478

I do scorn, to vow 428

If all men could 491

If any carp, for that 494

If any eye therefore 654

I fare like him who 291

If Cynthia crave 48

If I should my sorrows 381

If I should tell 322

If I speak! 41

If it be Love 264

If love doth make 36

If Music and sweet 28

If my complaints 36

If no delays can move 43

If she, at last 47

If she esteem the 46

If she for this 35

If she will yield to 37

If such weak thoughts 424

If that in ought mine 264

If that these men, 63

If you boast that 485

I have a Love that's 424

I have elsewhere 427

I have heard that 382

I have wept, and 381

I'll go to the woods 650

I'm no slave to such 427

In any book also 69

In company 273

In general, we wollin 54

Ingrateful Love! 289

In her presence all 534

In looking back 293

In midst of winter 268

In my Legend of 65

In prime of Youth 295

In Reason's Court 276

In song, Apollo gave 403

In spite of others' hates 386

In these lonely groves 492

In these thoughts 488

In vain do we 290

"I pray thee, tell! 267

I saw my Lady weep' 522

Is this a fair avaunt? 56

I that have oft 480

I to a thousand 481

It was a time when 620

It was my chance 261

I wandered out 455

I will no longer spend 293

I will not call for aid 259

Judge not by this 260

Justice gives each 532

Knew I my Love 481

Leave me! then 429

Lend your ears to my 617

Let love which never 46

Let not thy tongue 275

Let those doters on 360

Like to a man that 289

Like to the silver 613

Like to the winds 39

Lines to some 382

Long have I 268

Lo here, the Record 296

Loose Idleness! 294

Lordly Gallants! 484

Love and I are now 283

Love and Youth 283

Love! Art thou blind? 268

Love causèd GOD 153

Love GOD, above 100

Love is honey mixed 283

Love is sorrow mixt 284

Love is the sickness 284

Love now no more 612

Love, then I must 650

Lovers' Conceits 291

Lovers, lament! 275

Love stood amazed 616

Love! those beams 650

Lute! Arise and 520

Malice of women! 66

Many one eke would 58

Margarita first 319

Martha soon did it 319

Mary then, and 320

Meanwhile, vouchsafe 260

Me! me! and none 613

Men, alas, are too 381

Men bearing, eke 64

Men sayin that our 66

Mirth, then, is 534

Mispend not a morning 504

Most sacred Queen! 276

O, how honoured are 436

O, I am as heavy 534

O, if she may be 483

"O, if the Noblest 401

Our wished wealth hath 169

Pale Jealousy! 271

Pardie! this Clerk 63

Parting from thee! 270

Parve liber Domini 257

Pausing a while 261

Peruse with patience 153

Praise blindness 525

Shall I, wasting in 454

Shall I, wasting 577

Shall my foolish heart 578

Shall then, in earnest 385

She, little moved with 400

Should my foolish 578

Should my heart be 454

Should then my love 40

Show some relenting! 620

Silly wretch! Forsake 531

Since you desire 269

Sleep is a reconciling! 619

Sleep now, my Muse! 272
