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

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

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

SONG: TO CELIA 328

SONGS FROM THE MASQUES AND PLAYS (Jonson) 340

SONGS FROM THE PLAYS (Shakespeare) 259

Speak thou and speed, where will or power ought help’th 35

Stand still, and I will read to thee 309

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

VALEDICTION: OF MY NAME IN THE WINDOW, A 297

VALEDICTION: OF WEEPING, A 300

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

Ye learned sisters, which have oftentimes 136

You black bright stars, that shine while daylight lasteth 233

You brave, heroic minds 219

You that have spent the silent night 66

You that seek what life is in death 185

Your looks so often cast 34

Your ugly token 4
