Draw near, you lovers : While Thirsis, wrapp'd : Love, thou can'st hear : I loved fair Celia : What hope for us remains : Pastora's beauties : A thousand sev'ral ways : Urge me no more : Farewell, all joys : If music be the food (first version) : Amidst the shades : They say you're angry : Let each gallant heart : This poet sings : Ah, how pleasant : My heart, whenever you appear : On the brow of Richmond Hill : Rashly I swore : Since the pox : Beneath a dark and melancholy grove : Musing on cares : Whilst Cynthia sang : How I sigh : Ye happy swains : Beware, poor shepherds : See how the fading glories : Cease, anxious world : Oh, fair Cedaria
