See beneath yon bow'r of roses  1-2 
Young Lubin was a shepherd boy 
Tell me, babbling echo, why 
As Chloe, the fair, in the heat of the day  3-4 
Whither my love, ah whither art thou gone! 
Go, lovely rose! 
How pleas'd within my native bowers  5-6 
In airy dreams soft fancy flies 
Water parted from the sea  6-7 
Ask you who is singing here  7-8 
When Werter first Charlotte beheld 
One kind kiss before we part 
Go, gentle zephyr! go and bear  9-10 
Hope whisper'd a flattering tale  10 
Not the soft sighs of vernal gales  11 
Ye swains, when radiant beauty moves  11-12 
Some women take delight in dress  12-13 
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen  13 
Encompass'd in an angel's frame  14 
From place to place, forlorn I go  15 
Thou soft-flowing Avon, by thy silver stream  15-16 
It rains, it rains, my fair  16-17  13 
When first I saw thee graceful move  18 
Come, dear Amanda, quit the town  18-19 
Hush ev'ry breeze, let nothing move  19 
Come thou lovely peace of mind  19-20 
By the side of a grove, at the foot of a hill  20-21 
Woman, thoughtless, giddy creature  21 
Ma chere amie, my charming fair  21-22 
When Delia on the plain appears  22-23 
Love's a pain that works our woe  23 
Deign, tuneful nine, to aid my lay  23-24 
O Memory! thou fond deceiver  24 
Vain is the thin disguise of art  25 
Return enraptur'd hours  25-26 
Perhaps it is not love, said I  26-27 
Quickly, Delia, learn my passion  27 
Awake, my love, with genial ray  27-28 
If in that breast, so good, so pure  28 
Shepherd, of fortune possest, The  28-30 
Amidst a bank of rosy flowers  30-31 
Nymphs I hate, who wan and pale  31-32 
When clouds that angel face deform  32 
From her, alas! whose smile was love  32-33 
Dawn of hope my soul revives, A  33 
Under the green-wood tree  34 
Whoe'er with curious eye has rang'd  34-35 
For ever, fortune! wilt thou prove  35-36 
How happy was my morn of love  36 
I told my nymph, I told her true  37 
How oft, Louisa, hast thou said  37-38 
'Twas near a thicket's calm retreat  38-39 
What virgin or shepherd in valley or grove  39-40 
In infancy our hopes and fears  40 
On Richmond Hill there lives a lass  40-41 
From glaring shew and giddy noise  41 
In the garden of love, as the garden of Flora  41-42 
Why sleeps the thunder in the skies  42 
From thee, Eliza, I must go  42-43 
In the world's crooked path where I've been  43 
See, I languish! see I faint!  43-44 
With truth on her lips she my infancy form'd  44 
Ah! tell me no more, my dear girl, with a sigh  44-45 
Thy fatal shafts unerring move  45 
Corydon beneath a willow  46 
Who can suspect sweet Marian's faith  46-47 
Beauty and wit, illustrious maid  47 
Streamlet that flow'd round her cot, The  48 
Oh! had I been by fate decreed  48-49 
Gentle airs sweet joys impart  49 
My fair one's like the roseate morn  49-50 
Say---what kind of revenge shall I take?  50 
O thou! whose love-inspiring air  50-51 
This cold flinty heart it is you who have warm'd!  51 
Say, my dear maid, can nought express  52 
Child of the summer, charming rose!  52-53 
Sweet inmate--Sensibility!  53 
Love's a gentle, gen'rous, passion  54 
Fragrant lily of the vale, The  54-55 
Truth from thy radiant throne look down  55 
Come, dear Pastora, come away!  56-57 
Shepherds, shepherds, hither come!  57 
My time, O ye Muses! was happily spent  58-59 
Under friendship's calmer form  59 
Far on the sands the low retiring tide  60 
Vain phantom Hope---delusive cheat!  60-61 
Drink to me only with thine eyes  61 
Say, lovely maid, with down-cast eye  61-62 
Ere love did first my thoughts employ  62-63 
How happy was each gliding hour  63 
Charming Clarinda, every note  63-64 
By my sighs you may discover  64 
No more from fair to fair I'll rove  64-65 
When first upon your tender cheek  65-66 
Gentle shepherds, tell a stranger  66 
Ah! Delia see the fatal hour  66-67 
Primroses deck the banks green side  67-68 
How sweet is the blush of the morn  68-69 
Ye virgin pow'rs, defend my heart  69 
From the light down that mocks the gale  69-70 
When William at eve meets me down at the stile  70 
Sweet are the banks when spring perfumes  70-71 
Conflict's o'er, my love adieu, The  71-72 
Art thou fled, Elvira, say  72-73 
Oh! tell me, memory, no more  73 
Soft zephyr, on thy balmy wing  73-74 
Where Thames's silver currents glide  74-75 
For me my fair a wreath has wove  75 
One morning by the early dawn  75-76 
Charms which blooming beauty shews, The  77 
O clear that cruel doubting brow  77-78 
Hence, far hence, corroding care  78 
Eliza! once in prospect fair  79-80 
Wherefore bid me cease to sigh?  80 
Go, tuneful bird, that glads the skies  80-81 
Ye balmy gales, that gently blow  81 
By love too long depriv'd of rest  81-82 
Little wand'rer, ah forbear!  82-83 
Mein liebster freund, my dearest friend  83 
Her sheep had in clusters crept close to a grove  84-85 
Whilst I with love's persuasive charms  85-86 
Young Colin having much to say  86-87 
In my pleasant native plains  87 
Adieu ye groves, ye meadows fair  88 
How imperfect is expression  88-89 
Look, lovely maid, on yonder flow'r  89-90  10 
Sun was sinking in the West, The  91 
Soft breathing, the zephyrs awaken the grove  92 
When gentle Celia first I knew  92-93 
Lone bird of eve, whose liquid throat  93-94 
Prythee, muse, indite my song  94-95 
Ah! seek to know, what place detains  95 
Moon had climb'd the highest hill, The  95-96 
Smiling morn, the breathing spring, The  96-97 
Ma bien Aimee, why is that face  97 
Let all your boast of wealth and love  98-99 
Among the swains upon the green  99-100 
Know ye men that female lovers  100 
Delia's smile is wealth to me  100-101 
Zephyr, come, thou playful minion  101 
No more in field or shady grove  101-102 
Waft to her ear, kind gentle breeze  102 
Graces, virgins, fam'd of old, The  102-103 
Gentle winds, ah! cease to murmur  103-104 
Rise, ye fav'rites of the Muses  104 
Her mouth, which a smile  105 
In the morn as I walk thro' the mead  105-106 
Why will you plague me with your pain?  106-107 
Sweetest flow'rs are doom'd to fade  107 
Tell me thou soul of her I love!  107-108 
Raise your voices, what a pother  108-109 
No nymph that trips the verdant plain  109-110 
My fond shepherds of late were so blest  110 
Ah! why should love with tyrant sway  111 
Hark! hark! 'tis a voice from the tomb!  111-112 
'Midst silent shades and pearling streams  112 
O Nancy, wilt thou go with me  113 
Aletta, lovely girl, farewell!  114 
Each beauty does Flora disclose  114-115 
How can I forget the fond hour  116 
When first I knew young Sandy's face  116-117 
Come live with me, and be my love  117-118 
If all the world and love were young  118-119 
Why, cruel creature, why so bent  119 
Cold blew the wind---no gleam of light  119-120 
No glory I covet, no riches I want  120-121 
What wakes this new pain in my breast  121 
Ah! come Eliza, lovely maid  122 
Say, Mira, why is gentle love  122 
Humid seat of soft affection  122-123 
A courting I went to my love  123-124 
Emma, should I your tears regard  124 
How oft at the dawn of the day  124-125 
Our grotto was the sweetest place  125 
Fields now are looking so gay, The  125-126 
See down Maria's blushing cheek  126-127 
Ah, gentle zephyr! ah! if e'er  127 
Mama has often mention'd love  127 
His shafts, the terror of the skies  128 
Farewell, forever, charming fair  128 
Dare a timid youth confess  128-129 
Come Fancy! thou who canst regain  129-130 
Swains and the virgins so gay, The  130 
How oft, Maria, hast thou said  130-131 
My love, the pride of hill and plain  131 
Dying thrush young Edwin found, A  132 
Soft the gales of ardent love  132-133 
How gaily flourishes the rose  133 
Ere I beheld Eliza's form  134 
Tho' the Muses ne'er smile by the light of the sun  134-135 
Blest flower, that for my swain I chose  135 
As on yon village lawn I stray'd  135-136 
Queen of the garden! O how oft  136 
There's something in kissing, I cannot tell why  137 
Men are ugly, clumsy creatures  137 
To pity's mild breast shall the sigh  138 
Mon coeur, adieu! adieu my heart!  138 
How blest were my days, O ye swains!  138-139 
Sprightly eye, the rosy cheek, The  139-140 
Ah! why do silently grieve  140-[141] 
Repel those pensive sighs  [141] 
Enraptur'd I gaze when my Delia is by  142 
Yet awhile, sweet sleep, deceive me  142 
Kiss that he gave, when he left me behind, The  143   
I envy not the mighty great  143-144 
Beneath a weeping willow's shade  144 
When innocence and beauty meet  144-145 
Ye halcyon hours adieu!  145-146 
When love hath charm'd the virgin's ear  146 
As I was walking one morning in May  146-147 
Possest of ev'ry grace of form  147-148 
My love is gone to sea  148-149 
Come, peace of mind, delightful guest!  149-150 
Rouse Florella! angel sleeping!  150-151 
Silver rain, the pearly dew, The  151 
Shepherds, I have lost my love  151-152 
My days have been so wond'rous free  152-153 
Oh! soft remembrance, airy sprite  153 
One night when all the village slept  153-154 
You gave me last week a young linnet  154 
Unkown to affliction till urg'd by extremes  155 
Thyrsis, a young and am'rous swain  155-156 
Nor on beds of fading flowers  156 
Traveller benighted and lost, The  157 
When thy beauty appears  157-158 
At the close of the day, when the hamlet is still  158 
Young Strephon, pride of yonder plain  159 
Virtue, soft balm of every woe  159-160 
Hence to the plains, my helpless flocks  160 
Vainly now ye strive to charm me  160 
In spring, my dear shepherds. your flow'rets are gay  161 
Tho' misfortunes oppress me  161-162 
Thro' groves sequester'd, dark, and still  162 
No pastime, no sport can with hunting compare  163 
Hark! hark! the joy-inspiring horn  163-164 
Ye sportsmen draw near and ye sportswomen too  164-165 
Sweet scented beau and a simp'ring young cit, A  165-166 
Hunters are up and the ruddy fac'd morn, The  166 
Echoing horn calls the sportsman abroad, The  167 
Blush of Aurora now tinges the morn, The  167-168 
Bright Phoebus has mounted the chariot of day  168-169 
Twins of Latona, so kind to my boon, The  169-170 
Moment Aurora peep'd into my room, The  170-171 
How sweet in the woodlands, with fleet hound and horn  171-172 
Sun from the East tips the mountains with gold, The  172-173 
What pleasure can compare  173-174 
I sail'd in the good ship the Kitty  174 
Sir Solomon Simons, when he did wed  176-177 
'Twas in cold winter when my love  177 
Young Jamie lov'd me well and ask'd me for his bride  177-178 
See what I've brought my love fra' town  178 
Let other girls, who know not truth  179 
Sailor boldly ploughs the deep, The  179-180 
Now ev'ry dawn of hope is fled  180 
Oh! Jenny! art thou false indeed?  180-181 
When I was a younker, and liv'd with my dad  181-182 
How blest the life a sailor leads  182-183 
Oh! think on my fate, once I freedom enjoy'd  183-184 
When a little merry he  184 
When seated with Sall, all my messmates around  185 
How sweet when the silver moon is blinking  186 
Sportive lamb, the new fledg'd dove, The  186 
While up the shrouds the sailor goes  187 
Sleep on, sleep on, my Kathleen dear  187-188 
Go patter to lubbers and swabs d' ye see  188-189 
When Jack parted from me, to plough the salt deep  190-191 
What cheer my dear Poll---did'nt I tell you as how [sic]  191-193 
Poor Jack, whose gay heart kept his spirits aloft  193-195 
I travers'd Judah's barren sand  195-196 
Time has not thin'd my flowing hair [sic]  196 
Ye scamps, ye pads, ye divers, and all upon the lay  196-197 
How pleasant a sailor's life passes  198 
Now the wintry storm is o'er  199 
Come listen now my friends, to an old dogs queer story [sic]  199-201 
By her own lovely self that's my choice and delight  201 
Billet-doux oh! didst thou bear, The  202 
Ah tell me ye swains have you seen my Pastora  202-203 
Kirkaldy is a bonny place  203-204 
How happily my life I led  204-205 
Adieu, adieu, my only life  205-206 
To Anacreon in Heav'n, where he sat in full glee  206-208 
Young Jocky he courted sweet Moggy so fair  208-209 
Voyage over seas had not enter'd my head, A  209-210 
O say simple maid, have you form'd any notion  210-211 
O'er my toli-wither'd limbs sickly langours are spread  211 
I was, d' ye see a waterman  212-213 
If, bold and brave, thou can'st not bear  214 
Since by cutting off tribes all our glories increase  215-216 
Returning from the fair one eve  216 
Ye lovers of fashion, ye belles and ye beaux  217 
Why must I appear so deceitful?  217 
Tho' prudence may press me  218 
Nymph who in my bosom reigns, The  218 
Some how my spindle I mislaid  218-219 
When Liberty, to bless mankind  219-220 
O! dear, what can the matter be  220-221 
Gay Strephon long studied my heart to obtain  221-222 
There was Dorothy Dump, would mutter and mump  222
