INDEX OF FIRST LINES

A

A CHANGE came o'er the spirit of my dream
A duty well discharged is never followed
A funeral stone or verse I covet none
A goodly day not to keep house with such
A grim old king

A happiness will thus, my friend, be thine
A heavy sentence, my most sovereign liege
A little onward lend thy guiding hand

A pearly dewdrop see some flower adorn
A strife hath been commenced

A vision on his sleep.

Acis and Galatea whispering

Ah! good, my master, you may sigh for death
Ah! little doth the young one dream.
Ah me, my babe, my blossom, ah, my child

Ah, my lord Arthur, whither shall I go?

Ah, prince, you cannot hide

Alas, my lord, what griefful thing is this
Alas, my soul's ill-married to my body

Alas, poor Richard, where rides he the while
Alas, said they, such fictions children feare
Alcides thus his race began

Alcun non puo saper da chi sia amato

All is best though we oft doubt

All night he worked in the serene moonshine

All places, honours, offices, are theirs

All things decay with time: the forest sees
Amid nine daughters slain by Artemis
And how didst thou before thy marriage son
And if indeed I cast the brand away
And longer had she sung, but with a frown
And now farewell-I am going a long way
And since we have the vaward of the day.
And thou mayst prove some other way full well
And to what friends should I for aid apply
And what of thine Arcadian mate who bears
And when the dead by cruel tyrants' spite
And whereon then shall be my roundelay
And why not Gods of men, since good the more
And with a grave mild voice Sohrab replied
Ante fuit simplex coeli color, ast ubi furto
Approved warriors and my faithful friends
Are then the joys of this blessed meeting dashed

Are they immortal then, that did partake

Are we all met

Arm you against your other enemies

Art thou a man, and sham'st thou not to beg
As a tall ship tossed in troublous seas

As doth the flower revolve to meet the sun

As fearfull fowle that long in secret cave
As I intend to prosper and repent

As lately I a garland bound

As slow our ship her foamy track

As the isle of Delos whilome men report

As they heard her lamentations in their troubled anguish deep

As when the air is serene in the sultry solstice of summer.

As when the moon hath comforted the night

As when to seek her food abroad doth rove

At last, the deadly bitten point tugged off.
At that time did I take thee in my arms
Auspicious prince, at whose nativity
Awful sufferer

Ay, ay, Iarbas, after this is done
Ay, but I know

Ay, do thy worst. Thou art omnipotent
Ay me, for aught that ever I could read

Beneath the chilling air when I behold

Beneath a sleeping infant lies: to earth her body's lent

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew tree's shade

Despised things may live, although they pine in paine

Each word thou hast spoke hath weeded from my heart
Earth's increase and foison plenty

Ease, delight of human kind

Eftsoones her shallow ship away did slide

Ein quidam sagt, Ich bin von keiner Schule

Ell était de ce monde, ou les plus belles choses
Embowelled! if thou embowel

Empress of this fair world, resplendent Eve
Equal nature fashioned us

Et où vas tu, petit soupir

Even as a flower

Even in that note a fool's beatitude

Even now thy torturer arms
