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 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

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 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

Malice of women! 66
