First Line Page Verses
Go false Damon, go your sighing is in vain  5-7 
'Twas when the seas were roaring  8-9 
As down on Banna's banks I stray'd  10-11 
Ye gentle winds that softly blow  12 
Tho' youth and beauty grace the fair  13-15 
When Delia on the plains appears  15-16 
Why Collin, must your Laura mourn  16 
From the brook and the willow forsaking the plain  17 
Why heaves my fond bosom, ah! what can it mean  17-18 
O'er desart plains and rushy meers  19-20 
Adieu! ye verdant lawns and bow'rs  20-21 
Beneath a green grove, a lovely young swain  21-22 
As passing by a shady grove  23-24 
As bringing home, the oth'r day  24 
O nightingale! best poet of the grove  25-26 
I sigh and lament me in vain  27-28 
Sweet Betsey now employs my pen [sic]  28-29 
Adieu, ye groves, adieu ye plains!  30-32 
Lovely nymph! O cease to grieve me  32-33 
Lovely nymph now cease to languish  33 
How imperfect is expression  34-35 
When a youth commences love  35-36 
Farewell ye greenfields and sweet groves  37-38 
Ye fair possess'd of ev'ry charm  39-40 
For various purpose serves the fan  40 
As Colinet and Phebe sat  41-42 
Bird that hears her nestling cry, The  43-44 
Too plain dear youth, those tell tale eyes  44 
  45   
Friendship to every willing mind  46-47 
Smiling morn, the breathing spring, The  47-48 
'Twas early on a holiday  49-50 
Banish sorrow grief and folly  51-52 
Ye sons of Mars, attend  52-54 
In a mouldering cave, where the wretched retreat  54-56 
There was a frog liv'd in a well  56-59  24 
There was an old man, and although 'tis not common  59-60 
Women all tell me I'm false to my lass, The  61-62 
Push about the bowl boys  62-64 
Says Plato why should man be vain  64-65
