Contents

Farewell too faire -- Time stands still -- Behold a wonder heere -- Daphne was not so chaste as she was changing -- Me me and none but me -- When Phoebus first did Daphne love -- Say love if ever thou didst finde -- Flow not so fast ye fountaines -- What if I never speede -- Love stood amaz'd at sweet beauties paine -- Lend your eares to my sorrow good people -- By a fountaine where I lay -- O what hath overwrought my all amazed thought -- Farewell unkind farewell -- Weepe you no more sad fountaines -- Fie on this faining, is love without desire -- I must complaine, yet doe enjoy -- It was a time when silly bees could speake -- The lowest trees have tops -- What poore astronomers are they -- Come when I call, or tarrie till I come.
