Blest as th' immortal gods is he  1  4 
Thy fatal shafts unerring move  1-2  4 
Ah! the shepherd's mournful fate!  2  6 
Go, tell Amynta, gentle swain  3  4 
Yes, fairest proof of beauty's power  3  4 
In vain you tell your parting lover  4  2 
Heavy hours are almost past, The  4-5  6 
If wine and music have the pow'r  5  4 
When Delia on the plains appears  5-6  5 
Ah! why must words my flame reveal?  6-7  6 
Come here, fond youth, whoe'er thou be  7-8  8 
If ever thou didst joy to bind  8-9  7 
As near a weeping spring reclin'd  9-10  5 
Too plain, dear youth, these tell-tale eyes  10-11  6 
Strephon when you see me fly  11  5 
When first I saw thee graceful move  12  3 
Now see my goddess earthly born  12-13  10 
'Tis not the liquid brightness of those eyes  13-14  3 
Hail to the myrtle shade  14  3 
Waft me some soft and cooling breeze  15  8 
While in the bower with beauty blest  16  5 
When Sappho tun'd the raptur'd strain  16-17  4 
Go plaintive sounds! and to the fair  17-18  8 
When charming Teraminta sings  18  2 
My dear mistress has a heart  18-19  2 
Let the ambitious favour find  19  3 
From all uneasy passions free  19  2 
Oft on the troubled ocean's face  20  3 
Fly thoughtless youth, th' enchantress fly!  20-21  5 
Prepar'd to rail, resolv'd to part  21  3 
Come all ye youths whose hearts e'er bled  22  2 
On a bank, beside a willow  22-23  3 
To the brook and the willow that heard him complain  23  5 
To fair Fidele's grassy tomb  24  6 
When here Lucinda first we came  24-25  2 
When lovely woman stoops to folly  25  2 
Tell my Strephon that I die  25  3 
From place to place, forlorn, I go  25-26  2 
There is one dark and sullen hour  26  2 
Fair and soft, and gay, and young  26-27  3 
Tho' cruel you seem to my pain  27  6 
Ye shepherds and nymphs that adorn the gay plain  27-28  6 
Ye happy swains whose hearts are free  28  4 
When your beauty appears in its graces and airs  29  3 
As Amoret with Phyllis sat  29  2 
Can love be controul'd by advice  29-30  2 
Mortals, learn your lives to measure  30  2 
Bid me when forty winters more  30-31  3 
Tell me not I my time mispend  31  5 
Why, cruel creature, why so bent  31-32  4 
Forever, fortune, wilt thou prove  32  4 
Young I am and yet unskill'd  32-33  4 
Say not, Olinda, I despise  33  4 
Dear Chloe while thus beyond measure  33-34  5 
Away, let nought to love displeasing  34-35  8 
O Nancy, wilt thou go with me  35-36  4 
On Belvidera's bosom lying  37  2 
Boast not, mistaken swain, thy art  37-38  5 
My love was fickle once and changing  38  4 
Not, Celia, that I juster am  38-39  4 
It is not, Celia, in our power  39  2 
Say, Myra, why is gentle love  39  3 
Cynthia frowns whene'er I woo her  40  2 
Love's but the frailty of the mind  40  3 
Fair Amoret is gone astray  40-41  4 
In Chloris all soft charms agree  41  3 
Yes Fulvia is like Venus fair  41-42  4 
I tell thee, Charmion, could I time retrieve  42  2 
Damon, if you will believe me  42-43  5 
What! put off with one denial  43  2 
Let not love on me bestow  43  2 
Why we love, and why we hate  44  3 
Dear Colin, prevent my warm blushes  44  4 
Good madam, when ladies are willing  44-45  4 
When first I sought fair Caelia's love  45  4 
Corinna cost me many a prayer  45-46  3 
All my past life is mine no more  46  3 
Yes, I'm in love,I feel it now  46-47  4 
Ye little loves that round her wait  47  2 
Love and folly were at play  47  2 
Amorous swain to Juno pray'd, An  47-48  2 
Swain, thy hopeles passion smother [sic]  48  2 
Cupid, instruct an amorous swain  48-49  2 
Love's a dream of mighty treasure  49  4 
Tell me no more I am deceiv'd  49  2 
Mistaken fair, lay Sherlock by  50  4 
Chloe's the wonder of her sex  50  2 
When Orpheus went down to the regions below  50-51  4 
Vain are the charms of white and red  51  4 
Chloe brisk and gay appears  51-52  3 
Oh! turn away those cruel eyes  52  4 
In vain, fond youth, thy tears give o'er  52-53  3 
Merchant to secure his treasure, The  53  4 
Celia hoard thy charms no more  53-54  4 
As the snow in vallies lying  54-55  4 
Celia, too late you would repent  55  5 
If the quick spirit of your eye  55-56  2 
Late when love I seem'd to slight  56  3 
Ah! Chloris, could I now but sit  56-57  3 
Graces and the wand'ring loves, The  57  2 
Say, lovely dream, where could'st thou find  58  7 
Come little infant love me now  58-59  8 
Gentle air, thou breath of lovers  59-60  4 
She loves, and she confesses too  60  4 
'Tis now since I sat down before  61-62  10 
Pursuing beauty, men descry  62  5 
Stella and Flavia every hour  62-63  2 
When gentle Celia first I knew  63-64  7 
When first upon your tender cheek  64-65  5 
As Ariana young and fair  65  3 
When first I saw Lucinda;s face  66  3 
Chloris, yourself you so excel  66  3 
Strephon has fashion, wit and youth  66-67  2 
At Cynthia's feet I sigh'd, I pray'd  67  5 
Wine, wine in the morning  68  3 
In vain, dear Chloe, you suggest  68-69  5 
Should some perverse malignant star  69  2 
Why will Florella while I gaze  69-70  4 
It was a friar of orders gray  71-74  27 
Turn, gentle hermit of the dale  74-76  39 
Of Leinster fam'd for maidens fair  76-80  18 
When all was wrapt in dark midnight  80-82  17 
'Twas when the seas were roaring  82-83  5 
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd  83-85  8 
Daphnis stood pensive in the shade  85-86  8 
Despairing beside a clear stream  86-88  7 
As on a summer's day  88-89  8 
Alexis shun'd his fellow swains [sic]  89-90  6 
One morning very early, one morning in the spring  90-91  6 
Sun was sunk beneath the hill, The  91-92  6 
What beauties does Flora disclose?  92-93  4 
Far in the windings of a vale  93-95  24 
Western sky was purl'd o'er, The [sic]  95-97  14 
O'er moorlands and mountains rude barren and bare  97-98  4 
Ye shepherds so chearful and gay [sic]  98-99  6 
My banks they are furnish'd with bees  99-101  8 
Why will you my passion reprove?  101-102  7 
Ye shepherds give air to my lay [sic]  102-104  6 
Come, shepherds, we'll follow the hearse  104  8 
When Jove was resolv'd to create the round earth  105  6 
Give us glasses, my wench  105-106  4 
Well met, my good friends, to the laudable ends  106-107  7 
Bacchus, rosy god of wine  107-108  3 
If life is a bubble, and breaks with a blast  108  5 
To banish life's troubles, the Grecian old sage  108-109  3 
Since life's but a span, as philosophers say  109  6 
Bacchus. god of rosy wine  109-110  6 
When Bacchus first planted the vine  110-111  4 
Hail! madeira, thou juice divine!  111-112  6 
Whate'er squeamish lovers may say  112-113  5 
Festive board was met, the social band, The  113  4 
When I drain the rosy bowl  113-114  7 
While others barter ease for state  114-115  4 
Within a cool and pleasant shade  115  5 
If the treasur'd gold could give  115-116  3 
My temples with clusters of grapes I'll entwine  116  5 
Busy, curious, thirsty fly  116  2 
By the gaily circling glass  117  1 
What Cato advises most certainly wise, is  117  4 
Banish sorrow, let's drink and be merry, boys  117-118  3 
Fill your glasses, banish grief  118  4 
Thirsty earth sucks up the show'rs, The  118-119  2 
Roving about, good fellows to meet  119  6 
Now we are free from college rules  119-120  14 
O the days when I was young!  121  3 
Pho! pox o' this nonsense, I pry'thee give o'er  121-122  5 
Contented I am, and contented I'll be  122  6 
You know that our ancient philosophers hold  122-123  6 
We'll drink, and we'll never have done, boys  123  2 
Drunk as a dragon sure is he  123-124  4 
There was once, it is said  124-126  16 
Hark! hark away! away to the downs!  126-127  7 
Last Valentine's day when bright Phoebus shone clear  128  5 
Dusky night rides down the sky, The  128-129  6 
I am a jolly huntsman  129-131  25 
Hark! hark! the joy-inspiring horn  132  4 
From the East breaks the morn  132-133  5 
To the chase, to the chase; on the brow of the hill  133  3 
Hark, hark ye, how echoes the horn in the vale  134  2 
When Phoebus begins just to peep o'er the hills  134  3 
Come push the bowl about  135  3 
Life is chequer'd---toil and pleasure  135-136  4 
How oft at the dawn of the day  136  2 
In storms when clouds obscure the sky  136-137  5 
I've known what 'tis to face a foe  137  2 
Ye frolicksome sparks of the game  137-138  6 
To Heaven's high Architect all praise  139  1 
It is like the dew of Hermon  139  1 
Grant us, kind Heav'n, what we request  139-140  4

Wake the lute and quav'ring strings  141  4 
Hail to the Craft! at whose serene command  141-142  3 
What solemn sounds on holy Sinai rung  142-143  2 
Ye spirits pure, that rous'd the tuneful throng  143  3 
Daughter of gods, fair virtue, if to thee  143-144  4 
Ye sons of great science, impatient to learn  144-145  6 
When the Deity's word  145  4 
Let Masonry, from pole to pole  145-146  2 
Unite, unite, your voices raise  146  5 
'Ere God the universe began  146-147  5 
Genius of Masonry descend  147-148  5 
When first a Mason I was made  148  4 
Fidelity once had a fancy to move  148-149  8 
Glorious Craft, which fires the mind  149-150  4 
Come let us prepare  150-151  7 
Hail masonry! thou Craft divine!  151-152  6 
On, on, my dear brethren, pursue thy great lecture  152  6
