The king's health sung to Farrinel's ground
Old Tony, the tune How happy is Phillis in love
The horse race ... sung to ... Cock up thy beaver
Brother Solon's hunting song
The fisherman's song in the first part of Massaniello
Farewell my loved science ... in ... Barnaby Whigg to the tune of Delights of the bottle
I'le sail upon the dog-star ... in ... Fool's preferment
Sleep, sleep, poor youth ... in ... Don Quixote
Boast no more fond love thy power
Born with the vices of my kind
We all to conqu'ring beauty bow / music by John Blow
Bright was the morning, cool was the air
Chloe's a nymph in flow'ry groves
One Sunday at St. James's prayers
The larks awake the drowzy morn ... in The injured princess / set by Colonel Pack
On young Olinda
Ye beaus of pleasure
How vile are the sordid intrigues of town ... in The marriage hater match'd
The night her blackest sables wore
Sawney was tall and of noble race
Cold and raw the north did blow
Sally's answer to Sawney
T'was within a furlong of Edinborough town
Of noble race was Shinking ... in The Richmond heiress
At Winchester was a wedding set to the King's Jigg
The courtier and country maid
