INDEX OF FIRST LINES

Absence, hear thou my protestation
A Chieftain to the Highlands bound
A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by
Ah, Chloris! could I now but sit
Ah! County Guy, the hour is nigh.
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd
All thoughts, all passions, all delights
And are ye sure the news is true

And is this-Yarrow?-This the Stream.

And thou art dead, as young and fair

196

And wilt thou leave me thus

Ariel to Miranda :-Take

Art thou pale for weariness

As it fell upon a day

I was walking all alane

A slumber did my spirit seal.

269

Art thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers.

178

As slow our ship her foamy track

217

A sweet disorder in the dress

At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears

At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly

Avenge, O Lord! thy slaughter'd Saints, whose bones
Awake, Aeolian lyre, awake

A weary lot is thine, fair maid

A wet sheet and a flowing sea

A widow bird sate mourning for her Love

Bards of Passion and of Mirth

Beauty sat bathing by a spring.

Behold her, single in the field

Being your slave, what should I do but tend

Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed

Best and Brightest, come away.

Bid me to live, and I will live

Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heaven's joy.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind

Come away, come away, Death.

Bright Star! would I were steadfast as thou art

Call for the robin-redbreast and the wren
Calm was the day, and through the trembling air
Captain, or Colonel, or Knight in arms
Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night.

Come live with me and be my Love

Crabbed Age and Youth

Cupid and my Campaspe play'd

Cyriack, whose grandsire, on the royal bench
