A shepherd in a shade
An heart that's broken and contrite (Text: William Leighton, Sir) [x]
Awake, sweet love

By a fountain where I lay
Can she excuse my wrongs
Clear or cloudy
Come again: sweet love doth now invite (Text: 17^th century)

Disdain me still (Text: William, Earl of Pembroke)

Humour, say what mak'st thou here

If my complaints could passions move
If that a sinner's sighs
In darkness let me dwell FRE
It was a time when silly bees could speak (Text: Robert, Earl of Essex)
Lady, if you so spite me
Lasso vita mia ENG
Love those beams
Me, me and none but me
Mourn, Day is with darkness fled
My heart and tongue were twins FRE
My thoughts are wing'd with hopes
Now cease my wand'ring eyes
Now, oh now I needs must part
O sweet woods (Text: Sir Philip Sidney)
O what hath overwrought
Rest awhile, you cruel cares
Say, love, if ever thou didst find
Shall I strive with words to move
Shall I sue?
Sleep, wayward thoughts
Sorrow stay
Sweet, stay awhile (Text: after John Donne)
Tell me, true Love
The lowest trees have tops (Text: Sir Edward Dyer) ITA
Think'st thou then by thy feigning
Time stands still (in The Third Book of Songs)
Time's eldest son, Old Age
To ask for all thy love (Text: John Donne)
Unquiet thoughts
Weep you no more, sad fountains (Text: 16^th century) GER
Were every thought an eye
What if I never speed?
When Phoebus first did Daphne love
Where sin sore wounding
White as lilies was her face
Who ever thinks or hopes of love (Text: Baron Fulke Grenville Brooke)
Wilt thou, unkind, thus reave me?
