Contents: To sport our merry meeting -- My mistress frowns -- You lovers that have loves astray -- Phoebe tells me when I woo -- Celia's wound and mine were one -- Dear, may some other, since not I -- Though me you do disdain to view -- Love wounded me -- The woodbine, flora, doth decay -- I heard a wither'd maid complain -- Leave off, sad Philomel, to sing -- O, had not Venus been beguil'd -- Tell me, dear -- Faint not, lovers, for denials -- Gifts of feature and of mind -- As Flora slept -- When Flora frowns -- Love laid his yoke upon me --- Now is the summer springing -- Come, sprightly mirth -- Come, let's crown this famous night -- Hero, kiss me, or I die -- Quickly send it -- If it be love to sit and mourn -- Fly, Philomel -- Who master is in music's art.
