Sonetos
Este, que ves, engaño colorido
Si los riesgos del mar considerara
Esta tarde, mi bien, cuando te hablaba
Detente, sombra de mi bien esquivo
¿Qué es esto, Alcino?
Mandas, Anarda, que sin llanto asista
Sátira filosófica
Hombres necios que acusáis

Vengan a ver una apuesta
La soberana Doctora

De una mujer se convencen
Rosa es, cuyo casto velo
Erase una Niña

Lámina sirva el Cielo al retrato
Sonnets
This object which you see
With all the hazards of the sea in mind
This afternoon, my darling, when we spoke
Don’t leave me, shadow of elusive love
What’s this, Alcino?
Anarda, you command me to observe
Philosophical Satire
You foolish and unreasoning men
Carols For the Feast of the Assumption, 1676
They’re betting, so hurry for all that you’re worth
She is a sovereign Doctor
That shepherd lass

The learned men of Egypt
She is a Rose, and when she flowered
Once upon a time this Girl
