INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A BARD, dear muse, unapt to sing..
A FAIR good-night to thee, love...
AGAIN I hear that creaking step!..
Ан me! those old familiar bounds!.
AIRY, fairy Lilian.....

A is an angel of blushing eighteen

A KNIGHT and a lady once met in a grove...

ALAS, how soon the hours are over....

ALL honor to woman, the sweetheart, the wife...

A SWEET" No, no,”—with a sweet smile beneath
"A TEMPLE to Friendship," said Laura, enchanted...
Ay, here stands the Poplar, so tall and so stately.......

Go-you may call it madness, folly...

HERE on my desk it lies ...

I'D "read" three hours. Both notes and text..

I ASKED my fair one happy day

IF every flower's an emblem, as you say..

IF I were you, when ladies at the play, sir..

If this should fail, why then I scarcely know.

IF you've nothing, dear, to tell me.

I KNOW not of what we pondered

I'LL tell you a story that's not in Tom Moore...

I LOVE to hear thine earnest voice..

I'm in love with neighbor Nelly.

I'M often asked by plodding souls..

IN Clementina's artless mien...

IN London I never know what I'd be at.
IN tattered old slippers that toast at the bars..
IN the evening, I sit near my poker and tongs.
IN the greenest growth of the May-time...
I PLAY'D with you 'mid cowslips blowing.

I PLUNGE my hand among the leaves..
I RECOLLECT a nurse called Ann...

I THINK, whatever mortals crave.

IT ripen'd by the river banks..

It's a singular fact that whenever I order..

I'VE a sweetheart blithe and gay....

JENNY kissed me when we met..

LADY, very fair are you.

LAST year I trod these fields with Di...
LAUGH on, fair Cousins, for to you...

LITTLE I ask; my wants are few...
LORD HARRY has written a novel.
LOVE me, sweet, with all thou art.

MADAM, you are very pressing,..
MAIDEN! with the meek brown eyes....
MARGARET's beauteous-Grecian arts
'MID the summer flush of roses..

My coachman, in the moonlight there.
My dear, to-morrow I can think...

On this Tree if a nightingale settles and sings

POOR Rose! I lift you from the street.

SHE passed up the aisle on the arm of her sire..

SHE's jealous! Am I sorry? No!......

SHE then must once have looked, as I..

SIR POET, ere you crossed the lawn..
SLIPS of a kid-skin deftly sewn.

SUNNY breadth of roses..

SWEET flower, that with thy soft blue eye.
SWEET Nea!-for your lovely sake...

TAKE my cloak--and now fix my veil, Jenny..

THE Cunning hand that carved this face.

339

THE folds of her wine-dark violet dress.
THE glow and the glory are plighted..
THE poor man's sins are glaring..
THE Queen is proud on her throne.
THERE are three ways in which men take.
THERE is a sound that's dear to me......
THERE'S a time to be jolly, a time to repent.
THERE sits a bird on every trce

THE time I've lost in wooing..

THIS old velvet coat has grown queer, I admit...

THIS relative of mine.....

THOUGH slender walls our hearths divide.

THOU record of the votive throng
THOU who, when fears attack...

THY smiles, thy talk, thy aimless plays.

Too late I stayed! forgive the crime...
TREAD lightly here, for here, 'tis said.

'TWAS ever thus from childhood's hour..

UNDER the lindens lately sat....

YEARS-years ago,-ere yet my dreams.
YES! I know you're very fair..

YES, I write verses now and then..
YES, you were false, and though I'm free.
You little maid with golden hair.....
YOU'LL come to our ball;-since we parted.
YOUNG Jessica sat all the day..

You shun me like a fawn, my dearest Milly..
You tell me you're promised a lover.
