A kiss I begg’d, and thou didst join [Secundus]76
A Phosphor ’mongst the living late wert thou [Plato]81
A small well-gotten stock, and country seat [E. Cat[alectis] Vet[erum] Poet[arum.]]81
Alas! alas! thou turn’st in vain [Guarini]72
As in the crystal-centre of the sight [Fairfax]89
As when some brook flies from itself away [Montalvan]75
Ask the empress of the night26
Beauty, thy harsh imperious chains37
Beauty, whose soft magnetic chains38
Cast, Chariessa, cast that glass away41
Cast off, for shame, ungentle maid67
Celinda, by what potent art45
Chide, chide no more away32
Come, my Dear, whilst youth conspires [Casone]73
Dear, back my wounded heart restore57
Dear, fold me once more in thine arms10
Dear, urge no more the killing cause48
Delay! Alas, there cannot be43
Doris, I that could repel50
Draw near61
‘Fair is Alexis,’ I no sooner said [Plato]82
Fair rebel to thyself and Time [Ronsard]71
Faith, ’tis not worth thy pains and care31
Far from thy dearest self, the scope [Tasso]76
Favonius, the milder breath o’ th’ Spring33
Five oxen, grazing in a flowery mead [Plato]83
Fletcher, whose fame no age can ever waste15
Fool! take up thy shaft again43
Foolish Lover, go and seek28
He whose active thoughts disdain52
I go, dear Saint, away29
I languish in a silent flame [De Voiture]73
I must no longer now admire62
I prithee let my heart alone65
I will not trust thy tempting graces64
I yield, dear enemy, nor know55
If we are one, dear Friend! why shouldst thou be22
Love! what tyrannic laws must they obey30
Madam! the blushes I betray16
My sickly breath [Guarini]72
No, I will sooner trust the wind65
No, no, poor blasted Hope!1
Not that by this disdain44
Now will I a lover be [Anacreon]79
O turn away those cruel eyes69
Old Hecuba, the Trojan matron’s, years [Plato]82
On this swelling bank, once proud9
On this verdant lotus laid [Anacreon]80
Pale envious Sickness, hence! no more35
Rebellious fools that scorn to bow58
Roses, in breathing forth their scent37
See how this ivy strives to twine12
See how this violet, which before27
See, the Spring herself discloses [Anacreon]79
Since every place you bless, the name6
Since Fate commands me hence, and I59
So fair Aurora doth herself discover24
Stay, fairest Chariessa, stay and mark13
Such icy kisses, anchorites that live25
Suckling, whose numbers could invite22
That I might ever dream thus! that some power1
That kiss which last thou gav’st me, stole60
That wise philosopher who had design’d20
The air which thy smooth voice doth break50
The lazy hours move slow10
The silkworm, to long sleep retir’d62
The stars, my Star! thou view’st: heaven I would be [Plato]81
These papers, Chariessa, let thy breath14
Think not, pale lover, he who dies25
Thou best of Friendship, Knowledge and of Art!17
Thou that both feel’st and dost admire2
Thou whose sole name all passions doth comprise13
Though ’gainst me Love and Destiny conspire7
Though when I lov’d thee thou wert fair51
’Tis no kiss my Fair bestows [Secundus]77
To Archaeanassa, on whose furrow’d brow [Plato]82
Torment of absence and delay [Montalvan]75
Vex no more thyself and me [Anacreon]78
Wert thou by all affections sought68
Wert thou yet fairer than thou art [‘Mr. W. M.’]98
What busy cares too timely born4
What if Night34
When, cruel fair one, I am slain46
When, dearest Beauty, thou shalt pay63
When, dearest Friend, thy verse doth re-inspire18
When deceitful lovers lay29
When I lie burning in thine eye42
When on thy lip my soul I breathe49
When Phœbus saw a rugged bark beguile [Marino]74
When thou thy pliant arms dost wreathe [Secundus]77
Whence took the diamond worth? the borrow’d rays2
Why thy passion should it move36
With a whip of lilies, Love [Anacreon]78
Within the covert of a shady grove [Plato]82
Wits that matur’d by time have courted praise21
Wrong me no more39
Yet ere I go66
You earthly souls that court a wanton flame54
You that unto your mistress’ eyes56
