Fear no more the heat o’ the sun 265
Fie, foolish Earth, think you the heaven wants glory 177
Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new 244
Flow forth, abundant tears 238
Flow not so fast, ye fountains 244

For God’s sake, hold your tongue and let me love 293
Forget not yet the tried intent 28

GREEN KNIGHT’S FAREWELL TO FANCY, THE 91
Hark, hark! the lark at heaven’s gate sings 265
Hate whom ye list, for I care not 33
Have I found her (O rich finding!) 235
Having this day my horse, my hand, my lance 159
HE RENOUNCETH ALL THE EFFECTS OF LOVE 44
He who hath never warred with misery 210
Hear me, O God 330
Here lies the noble Warrior that never blunted sword 133
Here lies, to each her parents’ ruth 322
Here, take my picture; though I bid farewell 310
Highway, since you my chief Parnassus be 160
His golden locks time hath to silver turned 194

HYMN TO GOD, MY GOD, IN MY SICKNESS 317
HYMN TO GOD THE FATHER 318
HYMN TO GOD THE FATHER, A 330
I am a little world made cunningly 312
I am called Childhood. In play is all my mind 12
I beheld her on a day 331
I have entreated care to cut the thread 75
I have sought long with steadfastness 24
I heard a noise and wishëd for a sight 228
I loathe that I did love 45
I long to talk with some old lover’s ghost 306
I never drank of Aganippe well 159
I now think Love is rather deaf than blind 333
I smile sometimes, although my grief be great 60
I thee advise 106
I whom thou seest with horyloge in hand 14
I, with whose colors Myra dress her head 177
I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I 290
IDEA 216
If I have erred or run a course unfit 212
If men may credit give to true reported fames 90
If poisonous minerals, and if that tree 313
If thou wilt mighty be, flee from the rage 36
In haste, post haste, when first my wandering mind 72
In nets of golden wires 232
In night, when colors all to black are cast 189
IN PRAISE OF A GENTLEWOMAN 90
IN TIME OF PLAGUE 286
In what torn ship soever I embark 316
Into these loves, who but for passion looks 216
INVITING A FRIEND TO SUPPER 323
Is it possible 25
Is Love a boy? What means he then to strike? 229
It may be good, like it who list 20
It was my choice, it was no chance 27
Joy, joy to mortals! The rejoicing fires 340
Kiss me, sweet: the wary lover 328
Ladies, you see time flieth 233
Laid in my quiet bed, in study as I were 56
Lais now old, that erst attempting lass 231
Leave me, O love which reachest but to dust 174
Leave off, good Beroe, now 111
LECTURE UPON THE SHADOW, A 309
L’ENVOY: TO HIS BOOK 8
Let it not your wonder move 331
Let man’s soul be a sphere, and then in this 315
Let me not to the marriage of true minds 258
Let me pour forth 300
Let the bird of loudest lay 267
LIE, THE 127
Like as a huntsman, after weary chase 155
Like as the hart, that lifteth up his ears 44
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore 253
Like truthless dreams, so are my joys expired 124

My name engraved herein 297
MY PICTURE LEFT IN SCOTLAND 333
My sweetest Lesbia, let us live and love 272
My worthy Lord, I pray you wonder not 85

No, no, Nigella! 232
NO PLEASURE WITHOUT SOME PAIN 43
NOCTURNAL UPON ST. LUCY’S DAY, A 301
Not marble nor the gilded monuments 252
Now I find thy looks were feigned 201

O dear life, when shall it be 162
O mistress mine, where are you roaming 263
O raging seas and mighty Neptune’s reign 102

SATIRE 3: TO SIR FRANCIS BRIAN 36
SEPHESTIA’S SONG TO HER CHILD 197
Shall a frown or angry eye 241
Shall I come, sweet love, to thee 280
Shall I look to ease my grief? 246
Shall Reason rule where Reason hath no right 108
Short is my rest, whose toil is over long 239
Should no man write, say you, but such as do excel? 112
Silence augmenteth grief, writing increaseth rage 117
Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye 253
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea 254
Since I am coming to that holy room 317
Since I have lacked the comfort of that light 156
Since just disdain began to rise 233
Since there’s no help, come, let us kiss and part 219
Since you must go, and I must bid farewell 336
Sing lullaby, as women do 63
Sing we and chant it 232
Sion lies waste, and thy Jerusalem 190
SIR WALTER RALEGH TO HIS SON 130
Sith fortune favors not and all things backward go 101
Sleep, angry beauty, sleep, and fear not me 281
Sleep, wayward thoughts, and rest you with my love 243
Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears 342
So cruel prison, how could betide, alas 52
So well I love thee, as without thee I 225

Stay, nymph, the ground seeks but to kiss thy feet 235
Stay, speedy time; behold, before thou pass 217
Still to be neat, still to be dressed 342
STRANGE PASSION OF A LOVER, A 62
SUN RISING, THE 292
Sweet Cupid, ripen her desire 240
Sweet Suffolk owl, so trimly dight 236
Sweetest love, I do not go 294
Tagus, farewell, that westward with thy streams 25
Take, O take those lips away 260
Tell me where is fancy bred 262
THAT ALL THINGS ARE AS THEY ARE USED 109
THAT NO MAN SHOULD WRITE BUT SUCH AS DO EXCEL 112
That selfsame tongue which first did thee entreat 75
That time of year thou mayst in me behold 255
The common speech is, spend and God will send 70
The earth with thunder torn, with fire blasted 186
The expense of spirit in a waste of shame 258
The first point is to love but one alone 17
The gods have heard my vows 237
The hap which Paris had as due for his desert 65
The labor sweet that I sustained in thee 99
The little fish that in the stream doth fleet 99
The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall 116
The man of life upright 277
The nightingale, as soon as April bringeth 170
The nurse-life wheat, within his green husk growing 180
The oftener seen, the more I lust 100
The panther, knowing that his spotted hide 154
The peaceful western wind 279
The silver swan, who living had no note 231
The soote season, that bud and bloom forth brings 50
The spring of joy is dry 234
The sun may set and rise 133
The vain excess of flattering fortune’s gifts 68
The world, that all contains, is ever moving 176
There is a garden in her face 281
There is no page or servant, most or least 18
They flee from me, that sometime did me seek 22
This figure that thou here seest put 337
This morning, timely rapt with holy fire 322
This wretched life, the trust and confidence 16
THOMAS MORE TO THEM THAT SEEK FORTUNE 14
Thou art not fair, for all thy red and white 275
Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare 173
Thou hast made me; and shall thy work decay? 312
Thou seest this world is but a thoroughfare 16
Thou winst thy wealth by war 106
Though beauty be the mark of praise 334
Though brave your beauty be, and feature passing fair 107
Though I am young and cannot tell 342
Though I be foul, ugly, lean, and mis-shape 13
Though you are young, and I am old 272
Three sorts of serpents do resemble thee 218
Three things there be that prosper up apace 130
Thy filëd words that from thy mouth did flow 101
Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear 256
’Tis the year’s midnight, and it is the day’s 301
’Tis true, ’tis day; what though it be? 296

Wake, sleepy Thyrsis, wake 236
Was never aught by Nature’s art 109
Weak is the assurance that weak flesh reposeth 154
Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee 197
Weep with me all you that read 324
What beauty would have lovely styled 336
What if a day, or a month, or a year 282
What is life or worldly pleasure? 230
What is our life? A play of passion 132
What is your substance, whereof are you made 252
What should I say 32
What then is love but mourning? 276
What thing is love? for sure love is a thing 193
What tongue can her perfections tell 165
When all is done and said, in the end thus shall you find 43
When all this All doth pass from age to age 185
When by thy scorn, O murderess, I am dead 302
When daisies pied and violets blue 260
When I do count the clock that tells the time 251
When I have seen by Time’s fell hand defaced 254
When I look back and in myself behold 42
When in the chronicle of wasted time 257
When my grave is broke up again 308
When raging love with extreme pain 54
When that I was and a little tiny boy 264
When thou must home to shades of underground 275
When to her lute Corinna sings 274
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought 251
When two suns do appear 169
When winter snows upon thy sable hairs 206
When younglings first on Cupid fix their sight 229
When youth had led me half the race 50
Where dost thou careless lie 335
Where, like a pillow on a bed 304
Where shall a sorrow great enough be sought 234
Where the bee sucks, there suck I 266
Whether men do laugh or weep 276
Who hath his fancy pleasëd 172
Who is it that this dark night 163
Who is Silvia? what is she 259
Whoever comes to shroud me, do not harm 307
Whoso delighteth to proven and assay 14
Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind 20
Whoso ne knoweth the strength, power, and might 12
Why lovest thou so this brittle worldë’s joy? 17
Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun 318
With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climbst the skies 158
With lullay, lullay, like a child 6
With marjoram gentle 8
Within my breast I never thought it gain 34
Woefully arrayed 2
Wouldst thou hear what man can say 325
Wrapped up, O Lord, in man’s degeneration 188
