Tracks:
In all our Cinthia's shining sphere; Tell me why;
As Amoret and Thyrsis lay;
Fair Iris and her swain;
Go tell Amynta, gentle swain;
Why, my Daphne, why complaining?;
What can we poor females do?;
Love and despair;
In some kind dream;
What a sad fate is mine;
Lost is my quiet for ever;
Stript of their green our groves appear;
You say 'tis love;
For love ev'ry creature is formed by his nature
