Formatted contents note
Contents: Come, shepherd swains -- Flourish, ye hillocks -- Ah! cruel Amarillis -- So light is Love -- As fair as morn -- Oh! what shall I do, or whither shall I turn me? -- I live, and yet me thinks I do not breath -- There is a jewel -- When Cloris heard -- Happy streams, whose trembling fall -- Change me, o heavn's! -- Fly not so swift, my dear -- I love, alas! Yet am not loved -- As matchless beauty -- Happy, o happy he -- Sweet honey sucking bees -- Yet sweet, take heed -- All pleasure is of this condition -- Oft have I vow'd -- Down in a valley -- Hard destinies are love and beauty.
Formatted contents note
Contents: Weep, weep mine eyes -- There, where I saw her lovely beauty painted -- Ye that do live in pleasures plenty -- A silly Sylvan -- O wretched man -- Where most my thoughts -- Despiteful thus -- Ah! Cannot sighs nor tears -- Draw on, sweet night -- Stay! Corydon, thou swain -- Softly, o softly drop, mine eyes -- Long have I made these hills and valleys weary -- Appendix: The lady Oriana -- I am quite tired with my groans -- O God, the rock of my whole strength.
