Corinna, if my Fate’s to love you,254

Cælia’s Charms are past expressing,257

Come Beaus, Virtuoso’s, rich Heirs,265

Cælia hence with Affectation,350

In Chloris all soft Charms agree,162

I lik’d, but never lov’d before,171

Iris beware when Strephon pursues,199

I am one in whom Nature has,241

In vain, in vain, the God I ask,251
