I. I thought once how Theocritus had sung II. But only three in all God's universe III. Unlike are we, unlike, O princely Heart! IV. Thou hast thy calling to some palace-floor V. I lift my heavy heart up solemnly VI. Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand VII. The face of all the world is changed, I think VIII. What can I give thee back, O liberal IX. Can it be right to give what I can give? X. Yet, love, mere love, is beautiful indeed XI. And therefore if to love can be desert XII. Indeed this very love which is my boast XIII. And wilt thou have me fashion into speech XIV. If thou must love me, let it be for nought XV. Accuse me not, beseech thee, that I wear XVI. And yet, because thou overcomest so XVII. My poet, thou canst touch on all the notes XVIII. I never gave a lock of hair away XIX. The soul's Rialto hath its merchandize XX. Beloved, my Beloved, when I think XXI.

First time he kissed me, he but only kissed XXXIX. Because thou hast the power and own'st the grace XL. Oh, yes! they love through all this world of ours! XLI. I thank all who have loved me in their hearts XLII. My future will not copy fair my past XLIII. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways XLIV. Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers
