Part 7

Chapter 7993 wordsPublic domain

Alas! alas! thou turn'st in vain [Guarini] 72

As in the crystal-centre of the sight [Fairfax] 89

As when some brook flies from itself away [Montalvan] 75

Ask the empress of the night 26

Beauty, thy harsh imperious chains 37

Beauty, whose soft magnetic chains 38

Cast, Chariessa, cast that glass away 41

Cast off, for shame, ungentle maid 67

Celinda, by what potent art 45

Chide, chide no more away 32

Come, my Dear, whilst youth conspires [Casone] 73

Dear, back my wounded heart restore 57

Dear, fold me once more in thine arms 10

Dear, urge no more the killing cause 48

Delay! Alas, there cannot be 43

Doris, I that could repel 50

Draw near 61

'Fair is Alexis,' I no sooner said [Plato] 82

Fair rebel to thyself and Time [Ronsard] 71

Faith, 'tis not worth thy pains and care 31

Far from thy dearest self, the scope [Tasso] 76

Favonius, the milder breath o' th' Spring 33

Five oxen, grazing in a flowery mead [Plato] 83

Fletcher, whose fame no age can ever waste 15

Fool! take up thy shaft again 43

Foolish Lover, go and seek 28

He whose active thoughts disdain 52

I go, dear Saint, away 29

I languish in a silent flame [De Voiture] 73

I must no longer now admire 62

I prithee let my heart alone 65

I will not trust thy tempting graces 64

I yield, dear enemy, nor know 55

If we are one, dear Friend! why shouldst thou be 22

Love! what tyrannic laws must they obey 30

Madam! the blushes I betray 16

My sickly breath [Guarini] 72

No, I will sooner trust the wind 65

No, no, poor blasted Hope! 1

Not that by this disdain 44

Now will I a lover be [Anacreon] 79

O turn away those cruel eyes 69

Old Hecuba, the Trojan matron's, years [Plato] 82

On this swelling bank, once proud 9

On this verdant lotus laid [Anacreon] 80

Pale envious Sickness, hence! no more 35

Rebellious fools that scorn to bow 58

Roses, in breathing forth their scent 37

See how this ivy strives to twine 12

See how this violet, which before 27

See, the Spring herself discloses [Anacreon] 79

Since every place you bless, the name 6

Since Fate commands me hence, and I 59

So fair Aurora doth herself discover 24

Stay, fairest Chariessa, stay and mark 13

Such icy kisses, anchorites that live 25

Suckling, whose numbers could invite 22

That I might ever dream thus! that some power 1

That kiss which last thou gav'st me, stole 60

That wise philosopher who had design'd 20

The air which thy smooth voice doth break 50

The lazy hours move slow 10

The silkworm, to long sleep retir'd 62

The stars, my Star! thou view'st: heaven I would be [Plato] 81

These papers, Chariessa, let thy breath 14

Think not, pale lover, he who dies 25

Thou best of Friendship, Knowledge and of Art! 17

Thou that both feel'st and dost admire 2

Thou whose sole name all passions doth comprise 13

Though 'gainst me Love and Destiny conspire 7

Though when I lov'd thee thou wert fair 51

'Tis no kiss my Fair bestows [Secundus] 77

To Archaeanassa, on whose furrow'd brow [Plato] 82

Torment of absence and delay [Montalvan] 75

Vex no more thyself and me [Anacreon] 78

Wert thou by all affections sought 68

Wert thou yet fairer than thou art ['Mr. W. M.'] 98

What busy cares too timely born 4

What if Night 34

When, cruel fair one, I am slain 46

When, dearest Beauty, thou shalt pay 63

When, dearest Friend, thy verse doth re-inspire 18

When deceitful lovers lay 29

When I lie burning in thine eye 42

When on thy lip my soul I breathe 49

When Phoebus saw a rugged bark beguile [Marino] 74

When thou thy pliant arms dost wreathe [Secundus] 77

Whence took the diamond worth? the borrow'd rays 2

Why thy passion should it move 36

With a whip of lilies, Love [Anacreon] 78

Within the covert of a shady grove [Plato] 82

Wits that matur'd by time have courted praise 21

Wrong me no more 39

Yet ere I go 66

You earthly souls that court a wanton flame 54

You that unto your mistress' eyes 56
