Wet with dew or wet with tears | B |

Under his broad bat wing | D |
With a gentle earthly maiden | E |

Proserpine may weep in rage | K |
But ere I and you have done | E |
Kissing bathing in the sun | E |
What I have in yonder cage | K |
She shall guess and ask in vain | L |
Bird or serpent wild or tame | J |
But if Pluto does 't again | M |
It shall sing out loud his shame | J |
What hast caught then What hast caught | N |
Nothing but a poet's thought | O |
Which so light did fall and fix | I |
'Mongst the flowers and reeds of Styx | I |
Yesterday | H |
Where the Furies made their hay | H |
For a bed of tiger cubs | I |
A great fly of Beelzebub's | I |
The bee of hearts which mortals name | J |
Cupid Love and Fie for shame | J |
