I love and I must : When her languishing eyes : Not all my torments : Ah! Cruel nymph : Sylvia, now your scorn : Since one poor view : I resolve against cringing : Gentle shepherds : If grief has any pow'r : She that would gain : Fly swift, ye hours : Hears not my Phillis : Phillis, talk no more : Celia's fond : In vain we dissemble : When my Aemelia : Farewell, ye rocks : What a sad fate : I take no pleasure : Love's pow'r in my heart : How delightful's the life : She, who my poor heart : Love arms himself : When first my shepherdess : Through mournful shades : If music be the food (second version) : Scarce had the rising sun : Who but a slave : High on a throne : Incassum lesbia
