Methought I saw my late espoused saint
Milton's the prince of poets-so we say;
Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
Mirry Margaret

More than most faire, full of the living fire
Mortality, behold and fear!

Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
Music, when soft voices die,

My eye, descending from the hill, surveys

My Fader above, beholdyng thy mekenesse,

My galley charged with forgetfulness

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My heart is a-breaking, dear tittie,

My love in her attire doth shew her wit,

My sheep are thoughts, which I both guide and serve; "My tongue cannot express my grief for one,

Never seek to tell thy love,

No more, my Dear, no more these counsels try;
Nor force nor fraud shall sunder us! O ye
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,

Not, Celia, that I juster am

Not if men's tongues and angels' all in one
Not in the crises of events,.

O blithe New-comer! I have heard,

O'er Cornwall's cliffs the tempest roared,

Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told

O for some honest lover's ghost,

Of this fair volume which we World do name

Oh Galuppi, Baldassare, this is very sad to find!
Oh, that those lips had language!

Oh, to be in England

Oh, Winter, ruler of the inverted year,
O living will that shalt endure

"O Mary, go and call the cattle home

O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?

O, my luve is like a red, red rose,

O waly, waly up the bank,.

O, wert thou in the cauld blast

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,

O where have you been, my long, long love,

O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,

Past ruin'd Ilion Helen lives,

Phyllis! why should we delay

Poor, little, pretty, fluttering thing,

Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,

"Rise up, rise up, now, Lord Douglas," she says,
Roses at first were white,

Rough wind, that moanest loud

Say, Earth, why hast thou got thee new attire,
Say not the struggle nought availeth,

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,.

See the chariot at hand here of Love,

She dwelt among the untrodden ways

She walks in beauty, like the night

Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears:

The wish that of the living whole

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
