- Each lovely grace.--Truth-trying time.--Two lovers sat lamenting.--'Tis true, 'tis day.--Dear, though your mind.--Shall I be with joys deceived?--Down, down, proud mind.--Beware, fair maids.--The fire to see my woes.--Go, heavy thoughts.--My dearest mistress.--Man, like a prophet.--As by a fountain.--Away, away! call back.--When I was born.--Shall a smile or guileful glance?--We yet agree.--Fly swift, my thoughts
