O Lord, thy faithfulness -- If ever hapless woman -- When from my love -- Who doth behold my mistress' face -- If there be any one -- I heard of late -- All my wits hath will enwrapped -- Go, wailing verse -- A pretty duck there was -- Of all the birds that I do know -- The queenof Paphos, Ericine -- I would thou wert not fair -- Unto a fly transformed -- What thing is love, I pray thee tell -- Fortune, love and time-- Poets to love such power ascribe -- Whither runneth my sweetheart? -- Surcharged with discontent
