(from) Amoretti: Happy ye leaves when as those lilly hands ; More thenmost faire, full of the living fire ; Rolling wheele that runneth often round ; This holy season fit to fast and pray ; Penelope for her Ulisses' sake ; My love is lyke to yse, and I to fyre ; What guyle is this, that those her golden tresses ; Leave, lady, in your glasse of christal clene ; Lyke as a huntsman after weary chace ; Most glorious Lord of lyfe that on this day ; One day I wrote her name upon the strand ; Lackyng my love I go from place to place ; Men call you fayre, and you doe credit it ; Fayre is my love, when her fayre golden heares / Edmund Spenser --
(from) Caelica: Caelica, I overnight was finely used ; Nurse-life wheat, within his green husk growing ; In night when colours all to black are cast / Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke --
(from) Countess of Pembroke's arcadia: My true love hat my hart, and I have his ; (from) Astrophel and Stella: Loving in truth, and faine in verse my love to show ; Let daintie wits crie on the sisters nine ; It is most true that eyes are form'd to serve ; With how sad steps, O moon, thou climb'st the skies ; My mouth doth water, and my breast doth swell ; Come sleepe, O sleepe, the certaine knot of peace ; Having this day, my horse, my hand, my launce ; What, have I thus betrayed my libertie? ; I on my horse, and love on me doth trie ; Because I breathe not love to everie one ; O grammer rules, O now your vertues show ; Who will in fairest booke of nature know ; Love still a boy, and oft a wanton is ; Stella, thinke not that I by verse seeke fame ; (from) Certaine sonnets: Leave me, O love, which reachest but to dust / Sir Philip Sidney --
