First book: About the sweet bag of a bee -- As I walkt forth one summers day -- Amor merere che d'amor merere -- Amidst the Mirtles as I walkt -- A Willow Garland thou didst send -- A lover once I did espy -- Ambitious love farewell -- Ask me why I send you here -- Bring back my comfort -- Bid me but live, and I will live -- Bright Aurelia I do owe -- By all the glories willingly I go -- Beauty and Love once fell at odds -- Brightest, since your pittying eye -- Come Lovers all to me -- Catch me a Star that's falling -- Come noble Nymphs do not hide -- Come from the Dungeon to the Throne -- Come my sweet while every strain -- Come Cloris leave thy wandring -- Change Platonicks, change for shame -- Come Adonis come away -- Come lovely Phillis since it thy will is -- Cloris farewell I now must go -- Cloris false love made Clora weep -- Come o come, I brook no stay -- Conbelse gella de cretezza -- Dear leave thy home and come -- Dost see how unregarded now -- Fuggi Fuggi da lieti amanti -- Fain would I Cloris ere I dy -- Fain would I Cloris whom my heart -- Faith be no longer coy -- From hunger and cold -- Go and bestride the Southern wind -- Go little winged Archer and convey -- He that will love must be my Scholar -- He that loves a Rosie cheek -- How long shall I a Martyr be -- How cool and temp'rate am I grown -- How am I chang'd from what I was -- How happy ar't thou and I -- In vain fair Cloris you design -- If the quick spirit of your eye -- I love thee for the thy ficklenesse -- I do confesse thou art smooth and fair -- I prethee turn that face away -- I can love for an houre -- I am confrim'd a woman can -- In faith I cannot keep my sheep -- I wish no more thou shouldst love me -- I love a Lass but cannot show it -- I will not trust thy tempting Graces -- Like Hermit poore in pensive place -- Love I must tell thee Ile no longer -- Ladies you that seem so nice and cold -- Let longing Lovers sit and pine -- Ladies fly from Loves smooth tales -- Lay that sullen Garland by thee -- Little love serves my turn -- Let not thy Beuty make thee proud -- Mistake me not, I am as cold as hot -- Mans life is but vain, for tis -- No more blind Boy, for see my heart -- No, no, Fair Heretick -- No, no, I never was in love -- Of thee kind Boy I ask no red or white -- Phyllis why should we delay -- She that love me for my selfe -- Stay, stay, O stay, that heart I vow -- See see, how careless men are grown of late -- Silly heart forbear, those are murdering eyes -- Since love hath in thine and mine eye -- Take, O take those lips away -- 'Tis not i'th power for all thy scorn -- Thou art not fair for all thy Red -- Take heed fair Cloris how you tame -- Tell me not I my time mispend -- To love thee without flattery -- Tell me ye wandering Spirits of the Ayre -- Tell me not I dy, or that I live by thee -- Tell me no more her eyes are like -- Tis wine that inspires -- Victorious Beauty though your eyes -- Victoria, Victoria il micorae -- Wake my Adonis, do not dye -- Why dearest shoud you weep -- Why should thou swear I am forsworn -- Whilst I listen to thy voyce Cloris -- Wer't thou yet fairer than thou art -- What means this strangeness now of late -- When Caelia I intend to flatter you -- I prethee keep my sheep for me / M. Lanear -- Dear Sylvia let thy Thirsis know -- Did you not once Lucinda vow / D. Coleman -- Come my Daphne come away -- Forbear fond swain I cannot love -- Tell me Shepherd dost thou love -- Shepheard in faith I cannot stay -- Vulcan, o Vulcan my love -- Charon, o gentle Charon -- Thirsis kind swain come near -- To Bacchus we to Bacchus sing -- Bring out the cold chine -- He that a Tinker, a Tinker will be -- Fly Boys, fly Boy to the cellars bottom -- See, see the bright light shine -- Turn Amarillis to thy swain -- I wish no more thou shouldst love me -- Though I am young and cannot tell -- Come Cloris hie we to the Bowers -- When Troy Town for ten years -- From the fair Lavinian shoar -- Where the bees suck there suck I -- When love with unconfined wings -- Do not fear to put thy feet -- In the merry month of May -- O my Clarissa thou cruel fair -- Gather your rose buds -- Fear not Dear Love that I reveal -- Fine young folly though you were -- Sing fair Clorinda whilst you may -- Smiths are good fellows -- Musick thou Queen of Souls -- Now we are met lets merry be. |

Art thou blind? -- Beauty once blasted with the frost -- Black as thy lovely eye or hair -- Chloris when e're you do intend -- Chloris now thou art fled away -- Did I once say that thou wert fair -- Fond woman thou mistak'st the marke -- Fain would I love but that I fear -- Forgive me love what I have done -- Go young man let my heart alone -- Go fair Enchantress -- Have you e're seen the morning sun -- In love, away, you do me wrong -- I prethee love take heed -- Let me alone, Ile love no more -- Love thee? Goodsooth not I -- Mourn, mourn with me all true -- Oft have I sworn Id'e love no more -- O now I find tis nought but fate -- O tell me love, o tell me fate -- See see my Chloris (on the Queens landing at Burlington) -- See Chloris, see how nature brings -- Stay ye greedy merchants, stay -- Take heed bold lover, do not look -- Though thou hast wit and beauty -- What wilt thou pine or fall away -- When shall I see my captive heart? -- Why up so early in the world? -- Among thy fancies tell me this -- Awake fair Floramell -- Come Amaryllis I am ty'd by oath -- I love a nymph -- Dear, throw that flatt'ring glass away -- Do not delay though -- Go Phœbus, clear thy face -- I have prays'd with all my skill -- If you can find a heart Sweet Love -- I prethee send me back my heart -- Once Venus cheeks Sure thou framed wert by art -- Trust the form of ayrie things -- When doth love set forth desire. |
