The Surrender
... Fold back our arms, take home our fruitless loves, ...
To my dead friend Ben Johnson
... Whil'st some more lofty pens in their bright verse ...
SONNET. When I entreat, either thou wilt not hear

On the Earl of Essex
... But Spight of their vast Priviledge, which strives ...
Upon a Table-Book presented to a Lady
... VVhen your fair hand receives this little book ...

By occasion of the Young Prince his happy birth

To my Sister Anne King, who chid me in verse for being angry
... Each vice of mine should meet with such a cure, ...
Silence. A Sonnet
... Which carries it, shall prove its tombe ...
AN ELEGY Upon Prince Henry's death.
... whose fall Will be less grievous though more generall: ...
AN ELEGY Upon my Best Friend L. K. C.
... Grow'n desp'rate through mischance, to Venture last ...

... Content (With what thy loss bequeaths us) to lament, ...
