- Close sectionSongs from the Plays and Masques
- Weep no more for what is past
- With Lanthorne on Stall, at Trea Trip wee play
- Stand, who goes there! stand, who goes there?
- With cable and thong he drew her along
- No morning red, and blushing fair
- As cheerfull as the Mornings light
- Thou Monarch of men's hearts rejoice!
- Take leave now of thy heart
- Hark! Orpheus is a Sea-man grown
- She comes! each Princess in her train hath all
- The Planets though they move so fast
- Come melt thy soul in mine, that when unite
- Whilst by a mixture thus made one
- O Thou that sleep'st like Pigg in Straw
- Thrice happy he, who cares laid by
- Come shut our Temple and away
- Hark! hark! the trouble of the day draws near
- Whither so gladly, and so fast
- Unarm, unarm! no more your fights
- Make room for our God too, make room
- Behold, how this conjunction thrives!
- The furious Steed, the Phyph and Drum
- Break forth thou Treasure of our sight
- Britanocles, the great and good appears
- Our eyes (long since dissolved to Air)
- So well Britanocles over seas doth Reign
- Wise Nature, that the Dew of sleep prepares
- In wet and cloudy mists, I slowly rise
- Why dreadful Queen dost thou appear
- You just, and careful Registers of hours
- Why (as if guilty) does thou hide thy head
- The bright perpetual Traveller
- Wisely did Arts great Lord
- How dull and ineffectual is that rage
- Was there no other way
- You that are chief in souls, as in your blood
- Run to Loves Lott'ry! Run, Maids, and rejoice
- 'Tis, in good truth, a most wonderful thing
- None but my self my heart did keep
- Why should I hasten hither, since the good
- When with instructed eyes we look upon
- Why are our joys detained by this delay?
- Those quar'ling winds what deafened unto death
- You that so wisely studious are
- Why stand you still, and at these Beauties gaze
- So musical as to all Ears
- Did ever War so cease
- London is smothered with sulph'rous fires
- Come ye termagant Turks
- How bravely fought the fiery French
- Let us live, live! for being dead
- Ye wives all that are, and wives that would be
- This cursed Jealousy, what is't?
- With a fine merry Gale
- Whilst yet our world was new
- No more, no more
- Twelve Incas have successively
- Those foreign shapes so strange appear
- If Man from sov'reign reason does derive
- We shall no longer fear
- Aloof! and aloof! and steady I steer!
- Winds now may whistle, and waves may dance to 'em
- With Boughs and with Branches trim up our Bowres
- How comes it you Land-men, and we of the Sea
- Wake all the dead! what hoa! what hoa!
- Our Ruler has got the vertigo of State
- Ah, Love is a delicate thing
- Speak, Sister, speak;: is the deed done?
- Let's have a dance upon the Heath
- Under the Willow shades they were
- For straight my green Gown into Breeches I'll make
- He deserved much better then so
- There were three Fools at Mid-summer run mad
- The Heifer was lost in the Green-Wood
- And when Philander shall be dead
- See how the Dolphins caper these
- My lodging it is on the Cold ground
- The Bread is all baked
- Ladies, who fine as Fivepence are
