If ever thou did'st joy to bind  7  7 
As near a weeping spring reclin'd  7-8  5 
Too plain, dear youth, these tell-tale eyes  8  6 
Strephon when you see me fly  8-9  5 
When first I saw thee graceful move  9  3 
Now see my goddess earthly born  9-10  10 
'Tis not the liquid brightness of those eyes  10-11  3 
Hail to the myrtle shade  11  3 
Waft me some soft and cooling breeze  11-12  8

My dear mistress has a heart  14-15  2

Prepar'd to rail, resolv'd to part  17  3 
Come all ye youths whose hearts e'er bled  17  2 
On a bank, besdie a willow  17-18  3 
To the brook and the willow that heard him complain  18  1 
To fair Fidele's grassy tomb  18-19  6 
When here Lucinda first we came  19  2 
When lovely woman stoops to folly  19  2 
Tell my Strephon that I die  20  3 
From place to place, forlorn I go  20  2 
There is one dark and sullen hour  20  2 
Fair, and soft, and gay and young  20-21  3 
Tho' cruel you seem to my pain  21-22  6 
Ye shepherds and nymphs that adorn the gay plain  22  6 
Ye happy swains whose hearts are free  22-23  5 
When your beauty appears  23  4 
As Amoret with Phyllis sat  23  2

Away, let nought to love displeasing  28  8 
O Nancy, wilt thou go with me  28-29  4 
On Belvidera's bosom lying  30  2 
Boast not, mistaken swain thy art  30  5 
My love was fickle once and changing  31  4 
Not, Celia, that I juster am  31  4 
It is not, Celia, in our power  31-32  2 
Say, Myra, why is gentle love  32  3 
Cynthia frowns whene'er I woo her  32  2 
Love's but the frailty of the mind  32-33  3 
Fair Amoret is gone astray  33  4 
In Chloris all soft charms agree  33  3 
Yes Fulvia is like Venus fair  34  4 
I can tell thee, Charmion, could I time retrieve  34  2 
Damon, if you will believe me  34-35  5

Corinna cost me many a prayer  37  3 
All my past life is mine no more  37  3 
Yes, I'm in love, I feel it now  37-38  4 
Ye little loves that round her wait  38  2 
Love and folly were at play  38  2 
Amorous swain to Juno pray'd, An  38  2 
Swain, thy hopeless passion smother  39  2 
Cupid, instruct an amorous swain  39  2 
Love's a dream of mighty treasure  39-40  4 
Tell me no more I am deceiv'd  40  2 
Mistaken fair, lay Sherlock by  40  4 
Chloe's the wonder of her sex  41  2 
When Orpheus went down to the regions below  41  4 
Vain are the charms of white and red  41  4 
Chloe brisk and gay appears  42  3 
Oh! turn away those cruel eyes  42  4 
In vain, fond youth, thy tears give o'er  42  3 
Merchant to secure his treasure, The  43  4 
Celia hoard thy charms no more  43-44  4 
As the snow in vallies lying  44  4 
Celia, too late you would repent  44-45  5 
If the quick spirit of your eye  45  2 
Late when love I seem'd to slight  45  3 
Ah! Chloris, could I now but sit  46  3 
Graces and the wand'ring loves, The  46  2 
Say, lovely dream, where could'st thou find  47  7 
Come little infant love me now  47-48  8 
Gentle air, thou breath of lovers  48  4 
She loves, and she confesses too  48-49  4 
'Tis now since I sat down before  49-50  10 
Pursuing beauty, men descry  50  5 
Stella and Flavia every hour  50-51  2 
When gentle Celia first I knew  51-52  7 
When first upon your tender cheek  52  5 
As Ariana young and fair  52-53  3 
When first I saw Lucinda's face  53  3 
Chloris, yourself you so excel  53-54  3 
Strephon has fashion, wit and youth  54  4 
At Cynthia's feet I sigh'd, I pray'd  54  5 
Wine, wine in the morning  55  3 
In vain, dear Chloe, you suggest  55-56  5 
Should some perverse malignant star  56  2 
Why will Florella while I gaze  56  4 
I am, cry'd Apollo, when Daphne he woo'd  56-57  4 
Devil burn 'em---those wits are jack-asses  57-58  6 
Kind nature had thrown off the load  58-59  5 
Ye clouds of a dirt-colour dye  59-60  6 
There be lovers, of life so profuse  60-61  7 
Tom loves Mary passing well  61-62  4 
You may say what you will, but Belinda's too tall  62  7 
It is, I believe  62-63  5 
My sweet pretty Mogg, you're as soft as a bog  63-64  3 
O saw ye my father, or saw ye my mother  64  7 
Here is an old song, made by an old ancient pate  64-66  13 
You that love mirth, attend to my song  66-67  6 
Have you any pots or pans  67-68  4 
Blab not what you ought to smother  68  4 
Do not ask me, charming Phillis  68-69  6 
Cobler there was and he liv'd in a stall, A  69-70  6 
As cross the field, the other morn  70  3 
Returning from the fair one eve  70-71  3 
I'm jolly Dick, the lamplighter  71  8 
Devil pull'd off his jacket of flame, The  71-72  2 
Dean and Prebendary, A  72  4 
But are you sure the news is true?  73-74  9 
Willy, after courting long  74  3 
It was a friar of orders gray  75-77  27 
Turn, gentle hermit of the dale  77-81  39 
Of Leinster fam'd for maidens fair  81-82  8 
When all was wrapt in dark midnight  82-84  18 
'Twas when the seas were roaring  84-85  5 
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd  85-86  8 
Daphnis stood pensive in the shade  86-87  8 
Despairing beside a clear stream  87-88  7 
As on a summer's day  88-89  8 
Alexis shunn'd his fellow swains  89-90  6 
One morning very early, one morning in the spring  90-91  6 
Sun was sunk beneath the hill, The  91  6 
What beauties does Flora disclose?  92  4 
Far in the windings of a vale  92-94  24 
Western sky was purl'd o'er, The [sic]  95-96  14 
O'er moorlands and mountains rude barren and bare  96  4 
Ye shepherds so cheerful and gay  97-98  6 
My banks they are furnish'd with bees  98-99  8 
Why will you my passion reprove  99-100  7 
Ye shepherds give ear to my lay  100-101  6 
Come, shepherds, we'll follow the hearse  102  4 
Gentle swan, with graceful pride, The  102-103  4 
In a small pleasant village, by nature complete  103  3 
In my pleasant native plains  104  3 
'Twas in the bloom of May  104-105  4 
T' other day as I sat in a sycamore shade  105  3 
Tell me, lovely shepherd, where  105  1 
Fairest of the virgin throng  106  1 
Come, Roger and Nell, Simkin and Bell  106  3 
Spring returns, the fawns advance  106-107  5 
Cast, my love, thine eyes around  107  5 
When forc'd from dear Hebe to go  107-108  5 
When Jove was resolv'd to create the round earth  105*  6 
Give us glasses, my wench, give us wine and we'll quench  105-106*  4 
Well met, my good friends, to the laudable ends  106-107*  8 
Bacchus, rosy god of wine  107-108*  4 
If life is a bubble, and breaks with a blast  108*  5

Since life's but a span, as philosophers say  109*  6

Whate'er squeamish lovers may say  112-113*  5 
Festive board was met, the social band, The  113*  4 
When I drain the rosy bowl  113-114*  7 
While others barter ease for state  114-115*  3 
Within a cool and pleasant shade  115*  1 
If the treasur'd gold could give  115-116*  3 
My temples with clusters of grapes I'll entwine  116*  5 
Busy, curious, thirsty fly  116*  2 
By the gaily circling glass  117*  1 
What Cato advises most certainly wise is  117*  4 
Banish sorrow, let's drink and be merry, boys  117-118*  3 
Fill your glasses, banish grief  118*  4 
Thirsty earth sucks up the show'rs, The  118-119*  2 
Roving about, good fellows to meet  119*  6 
Now we are free from college rules  119-120*  7 
O the days when I was young!  121*  3 
Pho! pox o' this nonsense, I pr'ythee give o'er  121-122*  5 
Contented I am, and contented I'll be  122*  6 
You know that our ancient philosophers hold  122-123*  6 
We'll drink, and we'll never have done, boys  123*  3 
Drunk as a dragon sure is he  123-124*  4 
There was once, it is said  124-126*  16 
Hark! hark away! away to the downs!  126-127*  7 
Last Valentine's day, when bright Phoebus shone clear  128*  6 
Dusky night rides down the sky, The  128-129*  6 
I am a jolly huntsman  129-131*  25 
Hark! hark! the joy-inspring horn  132*  4 
From the East breaks the morn  132-133*  5 
To the chace, to the chace; on the brow of the hill  133*  3 
Hark, hark ye, how echoes the horn in the vale  134*  2 
When Phoebus begins just to peep o'er the hills  134*  3 
Come push the bowl about  135*  3 
Life is cheqer'd---toil and pleasure  135-136*  3 
How oft at the dawn of the day  136*  2 
In storms when clouds obscure the sky  136-137*  3 
I've known what 'tis to face a foe  137*  2 
Ye frolicksome sparks of the game  137-138*  6 
To Heaven's high Architect all praise  139*  1 
It is like the new of Herman  139*  1 
Grant us, kind Heav'n, what we request  139-140*  4

What solumn sounds on holy Sinai rung  142-143*  2 
Now while yonder white-rob'd train  143*  2 
Sons of antique art, The  143-144*  2 
Ye sons of great science, impatient to learn  144-145*  6 
When the Deity's word  145*  4 
Let Masonry, from pole to pole  145-146*  2 
Unite, unite, your voices raise  146*  5
