 Introduction

It’s a little odd. There’s hardly a Microsoft program that is as useful,

underestimated and, at the same time, as poorly doc-umented as
OneNote. Even after many years of intensive use I am still
discovering subtleties and strangeness, deficiencies and ingenuities.
This book is a collection of many of my personal discoveries about
OneNote 2010, 2013 and 2016. Most are just too good and useful to
keep them to myself.
This is not a complete documentation or handbook for OneNote
2013 / 2016. Instead it’s a more or less loose collection of tips, hints
and how-tos. It’s in the nature of tip compilations that, most likely,
not every single tip will be of particular interest to you. But I am
quite sure you will discover a lot of things you didn’t know. It may
even be that one or two of the tips will provide you with the solution
to an actual problem or answer a question nobody else could
answer.
There is a loose organization in chapters covering certain topics
like the OneNote editor or organizing your notes, but inside those
chapters there is no particular order. Just browse!

A note for Windows tablet users

Tablet computers with a regular Windows operating system on it
(like the Microsoft Surface series) can run the full desktop versions
of MS Office 2013 or 2016. This includes the Office-version of
OneNote 2013/2016 as well as the free OneNote 2016 from
www.onenote.com.
Note: This is not to be confused with the OneNote tablet app
which is pre-installed on Windows 10. More about that in the next
section.
 Therefore, almost all of the tips in this book work for One-Note
2013/2016 on tablets as well. However, this book will tend to use
desktop oriented terms, such as keyboard shortcuts and mouse
actions. In many cases tablet users can replace the word “click” with
“touch” or “tap on”. There are some differences when using your
finger. To open a context menu, for example, you may have to “tap
and hold” instead of “right-clicking”.

What about the other OneNote versions?

This book is all about the Windows desktop versions OneNote 2013
and OneNote 2016. Since the introduction of Windows 8 there has
been an additional tablet-optimized version of OneNote. This “Metro”
or “Modern UI” App can be downloaded from the Microsoft store for
free. Windows 10 comes with a pre-installed updated version, now
called OneNote “Store App” or “Universal App”. You can easily
distinguish the tablet app from the “full” OneNote 2013/2016: Its
icon in the Windows start menu is just named “OneNote” without
any version number. The Universal App may access and use the
same notebooks as the desktop versions, as long as they are stored
on OneDrive, but in comparison to the desktop versions of OneNote,
a lot of features are missing. Similar restrictions apply to OneNote
for iOS, Android, Windows 8/10 Mobile, Mac and OneNote Online.
Most tips in this book won’t work with those versions.

OneNote 2013 vs. OneNote 2016

You may have noticed that the title of this book is addressing
OneNote 2013 and 2016 at the same time. How is that possible?
The reason is simple: The upgrade from OneNote 2013 to 2016
brought hardly any changes to the program. Both versions are
almost identical. So all tips and instructions in this book are valid for
both versions. Most screenshots in this book are from OneNote 2016
but, apart from a slightly different looking menu bar, you will notice
no differences at all.
I said “almost identical” before. So, exactly what are the differences
between OneNote 2013 and 2016? Just these:
In OneNote 2013 you may import a picture or document
directly from the scanner. That function has been completely
removed in OneNote 2016. According to Microsoft the reason
has been a general instability especially with the 64-Bit
versions of Office. True reason? Doesn’t matter, that feature is
gone.
In OneNote 2013 all menu labels have been written in capital
letters (eg. INSERT). OneNote 2016 reverted them to regular
writing (Insert).
A new color scheme has been added. It’s called “colorful” and
changes the windows title bar to OneNote-purple. You may
change the color scheme by navigating to File – Options –
General.
The Backstage view (File Menu) has been slightly modified.
The list of recently opened notebooks is now grouped and
sorted in chronological order.
Since OneNote 2016 build number 16.0.6366.2036 it is possible
to insert certain live content into notes, for example, video clips
from YouTube or Vimeo.
The separate OneNote Tool for screen clippings or quick notes
no longer has its own window. It is now located in the system
tray. The Send to OneNote command has been removed and
the keyboard shortcut for quick notes has changed to [Win] +
[N]. In OneNote 2013 you had to press [N] twice.

That’s about all for now (Nov 2016). New features may be added to
OneNote 2016 in the future. It is very likely though that only
subscribers of Office 365 (with a subscription plan that includes
Office 2016 licenses) will get new features.
OneNote 2016 (Office) vs. 2016 (free)
In March 2016 Microsoft surprised users with the announcement
that the full OneNote 2013 for Windows could be downloaded and
installed for free.
A closer look quickly revealed that this was not the exact truth. In
fact, that free version of OneNote 2013 lacked a lot of features
compared with the version that comes with MS Office 2013.
Microsoft added most of the missing features like password
protecting sections or recording audio notes with the following
updates. Now the free OneNote 2016 (the 2013 version has been
abandoned) comes rather close to the Office version. A few
restrictions remain though and it’s very likely that this will not be
changed:
No locally stored notebooks. The free version of OneNote
2016 requires notes to be saved on OneDrive or OneDrive for
Business. Local drives or network shares are only supported by
those OneNote 2013/2016 versions that come with Office 2016
/ Office 365. Also there are some restrictions importing ONE-
and ONEPKG files (there is more information about this later in
this book).
No “visual embedding” of Excel worksheets or Visio-
Documents. They may just be stored as link or embedded files
like any other file format.
Notes cannot be exported in DOC or DOCX formats. To do this
some DLL files would be needed that are part of the complete
Office 2016.
No interaction with MS Outlook (like exchanging ToDo lists).
That should not be a problem though; usually users of Outlook
do own the complete MS Office suite and as such the full
featured OneNote as well.
Apart from these restrictions the free and Office-OneNote 2013/2016
are pretty much identical. So most of the tips in this book are valid
for both versions. The few exceptions will be clearly marked.
Now let’s get straight to the tips. We hope you enjoy rummaging
and browsing and hopefully find something which is really useful to
you.
 Chapter 1: Tips about the Editor

Although the Editor of OneNote 2013 and 2016 does seem a lot like
Microsoft Word, it is different in many ways. This chapter is all about
entering, editing and formatting OneNote content.

1. Deactivating the grid

Every time you move objects such as pictures, shapes or containers
inside a OneNote page, they automatically snap to an invisible grid.
To have precise control over the exact position of objects on a page,
just press and hold the [Alt] key to move the objects freely.
To make the grid visible, open the menu from View – Rule Lines
and select the leftmost grid under Grid Lines.
You may also switch off the Snap to Grid feature permanently.
The corresponding command is somewhat hidden: Open the Draw
menu and click on the small More-symbol (a triangle pointing
downwards with a horizontal line above it). It’s located in the lower-
right corner of the Shapes gallery. That opens a pull-down menu.
Click on the entry Snap to Grid to deactivate the grid permanently.
Do the same to turn it on again.
2. Accurate positioning using the keyboard
In the last tip we showed you how to switch the invisible grid off.
But maybe you need an accurate positioning just occasionally. Unlike
most graphics software, OneNote doesn’t offer a dedicated function
to move objects by pressing an additional key. For containers and for
images positioned directly on the OneNote canvas, you can use the
following workaround:

1. Select the whole object frame. Alternatively place the cursor

somewhere inside the frame and press [Ctrl]+[A] multiple
times as needed.
2. Open the context menu (right-click or [Shift]+[F10]).
3. Select the Move command from the menu or press [M].
4. Now you may move the frame using the cursor keys. Press and
hold the [Ctrl] key for a pixel-by-pixel movement.

In a similar fashion, you can use the keyboard for resizing. Step 3
will then be to select the Resize command from the object context
menu.

3. Splitting and merging containers

One of the nice things about OneNote is that it makes it very easy to
position content anywhere on the page. If you later decide that you
want to organize that content in a different way, by splitting or
merging containers, that too is no problem.

Splitting containers
Sometimes you may want to pull out content from a frame
(container) and place it into a new container, for example to move
that content somewhere else on the page. There are two ways to do
this:

Method 1: Select all content that you want to move, then press-
and-hold the left mouse button and drag the selection to a new
position on the page.

Method 2: The Insert space command, located on the Draw

menu, is intended to create space between containers. It’s also
possible to use it to split an existing (text) container horizontally into
two containers.

Caution: The cut extends over the whole page width. Any content
located to the left or right of the actual frame gets split as well.

Merging containers
The reverse operation is useful too; combining the contents of two
containers into one container. This is a seamless process.
1. Point your mouse cursor to the quadruple-dot title bar of the
source container. A four-sided mouse cursor will appear.
2. [Shift] + Left-click on that container bar. Keep your mouse
button pressed and drag & drop the source container into the
destination container. When the two containers snap, they are
automatically merged.

While dragging and dropping, you can keep your mouse button
pressed even longer to determine the exact location in the target
container where the contents of the source container is to be
inserted.
 When splitting or merging containers, you can select multiple
individual text paragraphs and other objects by holding the
[Ctrl]-key down and clicking on those objects' paragraph marks in
the margin.

The exact same procedures can be used to drag an image

away from an existing container and onto the page canvas.
The reverse works too: You can drag an image from the canvas
onto a container.

4. Inserting space horizontally and vertically

If you need additional free space between existing objects you may
use the Insert Space function found on the Insert menu. A
horizontal line will appear with a double-pointed mouse arrow. You
can now click and drag this arrow downwards to insert space. Less
known is the fact that you may use this feature to push content
sideways as well.
After clicking on Insert Space, just move the mouse pointer to
the left margin of the page until the mouse pointer changes to a
vertical line with an arrow pointing to the right. Now push existing
content sideways by clicking and dragging the mouse cursor in that
direction. This also works in the opposite direction: From the page
margin on the far right, you can push existing content to the left.
Note that you are limited to inserting space starting from the left
page margin and moving inward. You cannot create space vertically
from the middle of a page. Insert Space affects objects both inside
and outside of a container. See also the Splitting Containers tip for a
different way to use the Insert Space command.
To create additional writing space at the end of the page there’s
another method: Simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click on
the scroll bar’s down arrow to append some extra lines. Repeat as
needed.
5. Limiting the page size
OneNote's unlimited canvas is one of its unique features – but
sometimes an unwanted one. Especially when it comes to printing,
page contents may be wildly spread over several sheets of paper.
You can only avoid that by repeatedly resizing all content and
controlling the print preview. Also, browsing through a page to find
specific information can be a pain if you have to scroll in all
directions.
The good news: You can limit the usable dimensions of a page in
advance, for example, to the size of the Letter format.
1. Open the View menu and select Paper Size.
2. A new task pane gets docked to the right, where you may fill in
the desired page dimensions and orientation. The uppermost
list lets you choose from various fixed standard sizes, such as
Letter. You may also define a custom page size.
3. In addition you may adjust the print margins for the page, just
like in a word processor.
 Click on the link Save current page as a template to reuse
it whenever needed.

You may also limit the dimensions of existing pages already

filled with content, but, all elements located outside of the
defined borders have to be moved manually to inside the valid
area.

6. Removing empty space

The command description “Insert space” doesn’t indicate that you
can actually use this function to do the opposite as well - remove
any empty space that may be the result of having deleted some
content. To remove space you don’t have to select all containers
below the empty space and drag everything up using the mouse.
Instead, just select Insert – Insert Space and move the mouse
cursor into the note content.
The typical horizontal line is displayed at the cursor position. Now
just move it to the bottom margin of the empty area you want to
remove. Press the mouse button and drag the line upwards. All
content that is located below the line will follow.

Unfortunately this is limited to the horizontal dimension. You cannot

close a vertical gap that way. The only method to move existing
content to the left or right is to select everything (for example, by
drawing a selection frame around them) and drag all objects using
the mouse.

7. Forcing the creation of a new container

Sometimes you may want to create multiple containers right
underneath each other, for example to make it easier to drag them
to another location on the page later. You may find that it seems
impossible to do: If you just click a few lines below an existing
container, OneNote will simply add another couple of empty lines to
it instead of creating a new one.
Still, creating multiple containers right below each other is very
much possible. The trick is to double-click at the new position to
create a new container. This also works right below an existing
container.

8. Moving pages including subpages

OneNote allows page groups consisting of pages, sub-pages and
sub-sub-pages. It’s very easy to change the hierarchical level of any
page: In the page tabs list, just click and drag a page title to the
right or back to the left. OneNote will automatically change the
indentation of the page accordingly.
But when moving or copying a page to another position in the
page tab list or to another section or notebook, its indented
subpages won’t follow along (see picture below).
A workaround would be to manually select all the pages and
subpages you want to move while keeping the [Ctrl]-key pressed –
an error-prone and not very convenient method. There is a much
better way:
1. First collapse all sub-pages. To do this, just click on the "^"-
Symbol that appears to the right of the page title when you
move the mouse cursor onto it. Now only the title of the top
page is displayed. Indicators for existing but collapsed
subpages are the stack display of the title frame and the
permanent display of a "v"-symbol. Alternatively, press
keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [8]. You can use this
keyboard shortcut from any page within a page group.
2. Move the top page to the desired position. All sub-pages will
follow. After moving you may expand the sub-page list again
by clicking on the “v”-symbol.

9. Moving PDF files including annotations

All containers, inserted files, pictures or other elements on a
notebook page are separate entities. You cannot combine these
objects into groups like you can in some graphics programs. This
also applies to PDF printout images containing annotations you
applied using the highlighter, drawing or handwriting tools. These
annotations are, in fact, anchored to the page canvas not to the
object right next to the annotation.
If you move an annotated object, all its annotations will stay in
place and will therefore appear misaligned. As long as Microsoft does
not implement a grouping function (see the note below), there is
only one way to avoid this.
Before moving an object you have to select all other objects you
want to move along with it. You can click and drag your mouse to
create a selection frame, select individual objects using the [Ctrl]-
key, or use keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [A]. This behavior is not
limited to PDF printouts. It works for all other types of content, such
as pictures or typed text with annotations, as well.

When this book was being written, Microsoft had just released
an update for the Windows 10 App version of OneNote. This
update includes an option to combine several graphic objects into
one. But currently this functionality has not been implemented for
OneNote 2016 and – more importantly – it does not solve the
problem with annotated documents. The grouping option in the
Win 10 App is limited to drawings, shapes and handwriting only –
pictures and printouts (PDFs) still cannot be grouped with
anything.

10. Locking the position of PDF documents

After inserting a file printout into OneNote, for example from a PDF
document, you may want to prevent the printout image from
accidentally being moved around.
This is possible by converting the printout image into a page
background: Open the object's context menu by right-clicking it and
selecting Set Picture as Background. This prevents any change of
position and size. Note that this protects the picture only –
everything on top of it (annotations, drawings, additional text) can
still be moved.
If you want, you can bring the picture back to the page
foreground by right-clicking on the page canvas and selecting the
same Set Picture as Background option again.

You can also move text or any other object to the page background,
but it requires a few extra steps:
1. Select these objects and cut them to the Windows clipboard
with Start – Cut or keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [X].
2. Paste the clipboard contents as a picture, using Start – Paste
– Picture. You can also use keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [V],
[Ctrl]-key, [U].
3. Right-click the image and select Set Picture as Background
from the context menu.

Note that if you convert text, ink and other objects to images
in this way, their original format cannot be restored. Imagine
that you have converted a piece of text to an image and sent it to
the page background. You can pull that image back from the
background but it will remain an image. At best, you can retrieve
the text from the image, but its original formatting is lost
permanently.
 A recently added option in OneNote 2013 and 2016 allows you
to insert printouts (not images) as background by default. You
just have to open the OneNote Settings and check File – Options
– Advanced – Printouts – Automatically set inserted file
printouts in the background.

11. Panning a page using the mouse

While you can easily pan a note page around using your finger on a
Windows tablet, this does not work with your mouse on desktop
computers – not even in conjunction with [Ctrl] or [Alt] as most
graphic programs do.
Still there is a panning command in OneNote. It’s called Panning
Hand. It is somewhat hidden in the Tools command group on the
Draw menu, and only visible if you are using a non-touch device.
When activated, it changes the mouse pointer to a hand symbol and
lets you move the page content around using the mouse. To disable
panning mode, you would have to click it again or click on the Type
command or press [Esc].
Even with the Panning Hand command in the ribbon, it's not very
convenient to find and activate every time you just want to shift your
page around a bit. So let's make this command always available,
regardless of the menu ribbon displayed.
1. You can add the Panning Hand command to the Quick Access
Toolbar. One way to do this is File – Options – Quick Access
Toolbar. Set the list to the left from Popular Commands to
All Commands, select the Panning Hand command from the
alphabetic command list and click on the Add >> button. You
can now move the command to a specific position in the
toolbar (maybe to the first/top one) by using the arrow buttons
to the right. A much quicker way is to right-click on the ribbon
 command and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar, but
unfortunately this is only possible on non-touch devices.
2. You can now switch the Panning Hand command on and off,
depending on its position inside the toolbar, by using the
keyboard shortcut [Alt] + <position nr>. For example, if you
moved the command to the far left, the corresponding
keyboard shortcut would be [Alt] + [1].

Now if your mouse is a configurable one, you may open its settings
program and assign this shortcut to an unused mouse button
(maybe the one under the mouse wheel). From now on you would
just have to press that button to toggle the panning mode on and
off.

12. Doing math in OneNote

Did you know that you can do simple mathematical calculations
("napkin math") directly in OneNote? This is how you do it:
Enter the math expression somewhere inside a text container
directly followed by an equals sign (=).

Example: 1200*1.19=
As soon as you hit [Space] or the [Return]-key, the answer is added
behind the equals sign.

Example: 1200*1.19=1428
You can combine multiple operations in one string.

Example: (8-3)*7+65=
By using the [Return]-key instead of the [Space]-key, the
equation is resolved and a new line is created. In both cases the
result will not replace the equation but is simply added behind the
"=". If you just want the resulting value you would have to erase the
equation manually.

Don't include spaces in the expression. Just type numbers,

operators and functions as a single, continuous string.

In addition to the operators +-*X/%^!() you may use the

following functions:

ABS, ACOS, ASIN, ATAN, COS, DEG, LN, LOG, LOG2, LOG10,
MOD, PI, PHI, PMT, RAD, SIN, SQRT and TAN. All functions
may be written in upper or lower case.

You can disable this feature in the OneNote settings: Select Start
— Options — Advanced. Under Editing remove the check mark at
the option Calculate mathematical expressions automatically.

There is also an equation editor for entering (but not solving)

more complex formulas. You find it under Insert – Equation.
You may use the syntax from LaTex also used on Wolfram Alpha to
enter formulas or even use your pen to draw them (Draw – Ink
to Math).

In OneNote 2013 you can also add Microsoft's free

Mathematics Add-In for Office. At the time this book was being
written, the Add-In won't work for OneNote 2016.
13. Coloring a text container
OneNote doesn’t offer an option to colorize the background of a
whole text container. Yes, you may always define the background
color of selected text, but then only the characters themselves are
colorized. The rest of the container will keep the page background
color, usually White.

There’s a trick to get the desired effect using the option to colorize
table cells. To do so you put the text inside a table that contains just
a single cell. Then you may choose a background color for that cell
by selecting Table Tools – Layout – Shading. This command is
also available via the context menu (right-click, Table – Shading).

Left and right borders may be applied by adding empty colorized

columns. To add an additional border above and below the text you
may insert empty lines (not paragraphs) with [Ctrl] + [Return].
Finally remove the cell borders with Table Tools – Layout – Hide
Borders.

Note that the option to colorize table cells has been added
with OneNote 2013. So you cannot use this method with a
prior version, such as OneNote 2010.
14. Adding a (colorized) border around an
image or text
When you insert an image into OneNote, it may come in handy to
quickly put a border around the image. Adding a border is
particularly useful if the image has a lot of white areas along the
edges, making it less clear where the image ends and the
background begins. With texts, borders add more weight and
improve the visibility of your text, especially against a colorized page
background. Borders can be simply black or colorized. Example of a
text with a colorized border:

This tip uses the fact that you can put images and text inside a
OneNote table cell. The cell borders automatically become the
borders of the image or text. To colorize the border, we use the cell
Shading feature. This tip also illustrates how you can instantly insert
an object into a new table.

Adding a (colorized) border around an image

 1. Click on the image to select it.
2. Insert a one-cell table by opening the Table command from
the Insert menu tab and selecting a 1x1 table. This
automatically places the image in that one-cell table and
causes a border to appear around the image.
3. Because the table still has cursor focus, a special ribbon menu
is available, called Table Tools. Open Table Tools – Layout
– Shading and select the desired color for the border.
Adding a border around text
1. Select the text with your mouse or use [Ctrl] + [A].
2. Insert a one-cell table by opening the Table command from
the Insert menu tab and selecting a 1x1 table. This
automatically places the text in that one-cell table and causes a
border to appear around the text.
3. While the entire table is still selected, repeat step 2. The text
now has a double border around it. The whole object remains
selected for the next step.
4. From the Table Tools menu tab, select Layout – Shading
and pick the desired color for the outer border. Both tables are
now colorized in that same color.
5. Click in the inner table and repeat step 4. Make sure to pick the
color White in the top-left corner of the color picker if you want
a white background for your text. A white background is
especially helpful when the text is positioned against a
colorized page background.

15. Table inside a table inside a table...

Did you know that you can place a table inside a table cell? Even
multiple nests are allowed, so you can have a table inside the cell of
a table that is inside the cell of a table. To do this you just have to
place the cursor in a table cell and then select Insert – Table. The
height of the cells in the same row is automatically adjusted. You
cannot manipulate cell height directly, only by entering content that
takes up vertical space.

What is it good for? In OneNote, tables are mostly used to design

and structure content. Nesting tables gives you more flexibility to do
that. Try colorizing cell backgrounds, hiding table borders and
inserting images into table cells.

The Post-it™-Notes above are nothing more than 1-cell tables

containing another table (one row, two columns) for the headline
and date. Corkboard and pins are just background graphics.
16. AutoCorrect phrase expansion
Maybe you already know the AutoCorrect function from Word.
AutoCorrect can be used to fix common typing mistakes as well as to
enter recurring phrases by just entering a short abbreviation like "br"
for "best regards". You may also want to use the auto-correction
feature for recurring names, URLs and mail addresses. The same
AutoCorrect mechanism is also available in OneNote. Here's how to
use it:

1. Select File – Options – Proofing.

2. Click on the AutoCorrect Options button.
3. The following dialog box lets you set some standard proofing
options such as correcting two capital letters at the beginning
of a word. Below that you find a table containing common
mistakes or abbreviations in the left column. They are
automatically replaced by the expressions or word in the right
column. To create a new entry, you just have to enter a word
or shortcut into the Replace: field and its replacement into the
With: field.
4. To save the new entry, click on the Add button.

Now you just have to type the abbreviation, followed by a space or

return. It will be replaced by the assigned expression.

If you are using auto correction for exchanging abbreviations

or shortcuts with words or phrases here is a suggestion: add a
leading special character to the shortcuts, for example a hashtag
(#). That way you may still use the abbreviation in a text without
having it autocorrected..
Apart from expanding abbreviations into full sentences, a good use
for AutoCorrect is to have it insert a frequently used symbol that is
missing from your keyboard. For example: The long em-dash, which
is used to break up a sentence to denote a side thought, could use
three single dashes --- and have these automatically replaced by a
long em-dash —.

The list of auto-correction phrases is stored on your local PC in

a file shared with other programs from the MS Office suite. So
all entries you may add or change in OneNote are available in
Word also and vice versa. The auto-correction feature is still
available if you are using the free version of OneNote 2016 and
Word or MS Office is not installed.
17. Restoring image and printout sizes
When larger images or printouts are inserted or pasted into a
OneNote page, they are usually being scaled to smaller dimensions
by OneNote automatically. While this is useful in most cases,
sometimes you just want the original size.
First: Don't worry. The original resolution and quality are
preserved (as well as the amount of storage space needed).
OneNote is just displaying the image at a smaller size.
This behavior cannot be changed. But you may restore the display
size of selected images to their original dimensions:

1. Right-click the image or printout to open the context menu.

2. Select the command Restore to Original Size.

If the command Restore to Original size is greyed out, then the

image is already displayed with its original dimensions.

When exporting an image from a note (right-click, Save As…)

it is saved with its original resolution and dimensions. The
original graphics format is also preserved. So JPG remains JPG,
TIFF remains TIFF and so on.

18. Absolutely straight text highlighting

Have you ever tried to use the highlighters on the OneNote Draw
menu with a mouse or a notebook touchpad? Most likely you found
it impossible to draw anything even similar to a straight line. How
about cheating a little bit:

1. Select the marker of your choice from the Draw menu.

 2. On the Shapes gallery, click on the simple line or, better yet, a
rectangle.
3. Drag the line or rectangle over the text portion you want to
highlight.
4. If needed, adjust the position using the mouse while holding
the [Alt]-key.

Now your highlights are as straight as if they were drawn with a

ruler.

19. Additional OneNote windows

Navigating between pages can be a pain sometimes. For example, if
you are working on one page and want to review something on
another one, a lot of switching back and forth may be needed.
Moving and copying bits of content between different pages or
sections can be tedious too. You would always have to use the
clipboard whereas simply dragging and dropping could be much
faster.
So, why not open a second OneNote instance and place both
windows side by side? Every window can show its own content,
making navigating, researching and moving stuff around very easy.
There are three straightforward ways to open another OneNote
window:
1. Press [Ctrl] + [M]
2. Select View – New Window
3. [Shift] + left-click on the OneNote icon in the Windows
taskbar.

Windows 10 makes it very easy to arrange windows on your

screen by dividing it in halves or quarters. You may drag the
windows to the left or right border of the screen or [Shift] +
right-click on the taskbar icon, then select Show all windows
side by side from the context menu. You may also use the cursor
keys while pressing and holding the [Win]-key.

20. Distraction-free editing and presenting

To let your thoughts flow freely, screen elements such as menus,
section tabs, buttons and page lists may just be too distracting. In
addition, they use up too much space on smaller screens. You can
temporarily hide some of these UI elements, and its sometimes even
better to just have a big empty sheet.
It's easy in OneNote: Just press [F11] to remove most UI
elements and get an almost empty page to take notes on. Almost all
UI elements? Correct. In the upper-right corner there is still an
expandable list of notebooks and sections.

Quick Notes – the “Post-It™” style function available even when

OneNote isn’t running – is a way to get a note page that’s even
“more empty”. Here's how you do it:
1. Create a new Quick Note: Press [Win] + [N] in OneNote
2016. OneNote 2013 needs you to press [N] again after
releasing the [Win]-key or use [Win] + [Alt] + [N] instead.
2. This opens a new Quick Note, a small note sheet with a pink
background, usually appearing somewhere in the middle of
your screen.
3. If the pink background color bothers you, you can change it by
clicking on the triple-dot title bar and selecting the desired
background color (or none) from View – Page Color.
4. Now press [Win] + [Cursor Up]. This expands the note to fill
up the whole screen area.
There is no notebook or section list shown now. Just a plain, blank
space to write or draw on to to your heart's delight. The only
remaining element is a small grey bar at the top with three dots in it.
Clicking on that makes the ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar appear.
Notebook and section navigation is still missing though, as the
storage location for Quick Notes is fixed. To hide the UI elements
again you just have to click somewhere inside the note-taking area.

OneNote remembers the last size and position of the Quick

Notes window. So pressing [Win] + [Cursor Up] is just
needed the first time.

If you want to shrink the Quick Note window back to its

default size just press [Win] + [Cursor Down].

21. Entering symbols using Unicode values

Computer programs store individual characters as numeric values. In
the early days of computing these were based on the ASCII
character table. Nowadays, computer programs use a much larger
table, called Unicode. In its current incarnation Unicode consists of
128,000+ characters, symbols and glyphs from many international
writing scripts. The purpose of Unicode is to ensure a piece of text
created in one computer program can easily be transferred to
another program without the text getting garbled or mutilated. Each
Unicode character has a 4-digit hexadecimal code value that refers
to its position in the Unicode table, for example, 221E for the infinity
symbol ∞.
OneNote offers a feature that lets you work directly with Unicode
character values. If you know the numeric value of a Unicode
character, you can manually enter it in OneNote. Conversely,
OneNote can display the Unicode value of any character typed by
anyone on a OneNote page. In both cases we use the keyboard
shortcut [Alt] + [X]. Let's look at a few examples to see how this
works.
If you know the Unicode value
In this case, you type the 4-digit hexadecimal value of the character,
followed by [Alt] + [X].

Example 1: 221E[Alt] + [X] to get the infinity symbol ∞. 221E is

the Unicode value for the infinity symbol.

Example 2: 2013[Alt] + [X] to get the punctuation mark – (so-

called en-dash). 2013 is the Unicode value for the en-dash.

If you want to know a character's Unicode value

In this case, you position the text cursor right behind a character
and then press [Alt] + [X].

Example 1: ‰[Alt] + [X]

The character ‰ is replaced by 2030, the Unicode value for Per
Mille Sign.

Example 2: ♫[Alt] + [X]

The character ♫ is replaced by 266B, the Unicode value for Beamed
Eighth Notes.

Exploring Unicode values

To find the Unicode value of a character from within OneNote, you
can also use Insert – Symbol – More Symbols. For each font
installed on your system, this dialog box lets you navigate the
various Unicode subsets within that font (Basic Latin, Latin-1
Supplement, Latin Extended A etc.). Most fonts cover only specific
Unicode subsets.
If you click on a character you can read its Unicode name and
hexadecimal Character code at the bottom of the dialog box, just
below the gallery of Recently Used symbols.
 This same tip works in Word, Outlook and PowerPoint. [Alt] +
[X] doesn't work in Excel, but it does offer the Symbol dialog
box from the Insert menu tab.

22. That pentagonal paragraph marker

In many ways the OneNote note editor works similarly to the one in
Word. However, one clear distinction is how paragraphs are handled.
A key instrument to work with paragraphs in OneNote is the solid-
grey pentagonal paragraph marker that you see if you hover the
mouse cursor over the left margin of a piece of text.

Working with paragraph markers

As soon as you hover your mouse cursor over a OneNote paragraph
marker, the mouse cursor changes into a four-arrowed cursor – an
indication that you can manipulate that paragraph as a unit. Here
are a couple of things you can do:
Click the marker to select a single paragraph. You can also use
the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [A].
Select multiple paragraphs at a time by using [Shift]-Click
(adjacent paragraph selection) or [Ctrl]-Click (non-adjacent
paragraph selection).
Click-and-drag paragraph markers to move their content to a
different location within the same note container, or to drag
them onto another note container.
 This also lets you smoothly change the order of items within
bulleted or enumerated lists, or move rows up or down within a
table.
Click-and-drag paragraphs to the right or left to Increase
indent position or Decrease indent position.
Double-click a paragraph marker to collapse and expand any
level in a multi-level outline. Collapsed levels are indicated by a
+ icon.

The paragraph marker context menu for text items

When you right-click on a paragraph marker, a context menu opens.
This menu lets you Select all items of a multi-level outline that
appear at the same outline level, for example, All at level 3. To test
this yourself, create a multi-level outline. Then:
1. Right-click on any pentagonal paragraph marker in front of any
paragraph in the same note container.
2. Choose the Select command from the context menu, and then
pick All at level 3.
23. Splitting a table horizontally
To split a OneNote table into two separate tables, follow these steps:
1. Put the text cursor in the row after which you'd like to cut the
table in two.
2. Press [Ctrl] + [Enter] to create a new table row.
 3. Press [Del] to immediately delete the newly created row. This
will cause a gap.

In general, pressing [Del] from the first cell in an empty row

deletes that row. If you do that in the middle of a table, it
creates a gap where that table row once was.

24. Keeping resized image proportions

When you select an image to resize it, you usually will want to retain
the original width-to-height ratio.
If the image is located inside a note container, there is only one
image selection handle that lets you do this; the one in the bottom-
right corner.
Select your image and hover your mouse cursor over the bottom-
right corner. You'll notice that the mouse cursor changes into a
diagonal, double-arrowed cursor. You can now click-and-drag the
mouse cursor inward or outward to resize the image with the original
proportions remaining the same. All other image selection handles
have a different effect.
For images located directly on the page canvas, you can use the
selection handles in any of the four corners of the image.

 I DO confess thou’rt smooth and fair,
And I might have gone near to love thee,
Had I not found the slightest prayer
That lips could move, had power to move thee;
But I can let thee now alone
As worthy to be loved by none.

I do confess thou’rt sweet; yet find

Thee such an unthrift of thy sweets,
Thy favours are but like the wind
That kisseth everything it meets:
And since thou canst with more than one,
Thou’rt worthy to be kiss’d by none.

The morning rose that untouch’d stands

Arm’d with her briers, how sweet she smells!
But pluck’d and strain’d through ruder hands,
Her sweets no longer with her dwells:
But scent and beauty both are gone,
And leaves fall from her, one by one.

Such fate ere long will thee betide

When thou hast handled been awhile,
With sere flowers to be thrown aside;
And I shall sigh, while some will smile,
To see thy love to every one
Hath brought thee to be loved by none.

183.
To an Inconstant One
I LOVED thee once; I’ll love no more—
Thine be the grief as is the blame;
Thou art not what thou wast before,
What reason I should be the same?
He that can love unloved again,
Hath better store of love than brain:
God send me love my debts to pay,
While unthrifts fool their love away!

Nothing could have my love o’erthrown

If thou hadst still continued mine;
Yea, if thou hadst remain’d thy own,
I might perchance have yet been thine.
But thou thy freedom didst recall
That it thou might elsewhere enthral:
And then how could I but disdain
A captive’s captive to remain?

When new desires had conquer’d thee

And changed the object of thy will,
It had been lethargy in me,
Not constancy, to love thee still.
Yea, it had been a sin to go
And prostitute affection so:
Since we are taught no prayers to say
To such as must to others pray.

Yet do thou glory in thy choice—

Thy choice of his good fortune boast;
I’ll neither grieve nor yet rejoice
To see him gain what I have lost:
The height of my disdain shall be
To laugh at him, to blush for thee;
To love thee still, but go no more
A-begging at a beggar’s door.

Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair,
State in wonted manner keep:
Hesperus entreats thy light,
Goddess excellently bright.

Earth, let not thy envious shade

Dare itself to interpose;
Cynthia’s shining orb was made
Heaven to clear when day did close:
Bless us then with wishèd sight,
Goddess excellently bright.

Lay thy bow of pearl apart,

And thy crystal-shining quiver;
Give unto the flying hart
Space to breathe, how short soever:
Thou that mak’st a day of night—

But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,

Not so much honouring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not wither’d be;
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
And sent’st it back to me;
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee!

Give me a look, give me a face

But grant us perfect, they’re not known.

The Triumph
 SEE the Chariot at hand here of Love,
Wherein my Lady rideth!
Each that draws is a swan or a dove,
And well the car Love guideth.
As she goes, all hearts do duty
Unto her beauty;
And enamour’d do wish, so they might
But enjoy such a sight,
That they still were to run by her side,
Through swords, through seas, whither she would ride.

Do but look on her eyes, they do light

All that Love’s world compriseth!
Do but look on her hair, it is bright
As Love’s star when it riseth!
Do but mark, her forehead’s smoother
Than words that soothe her;
And from her arch’d brows such a grace
Sheds itself through the face,
As alone there triumphs to the life
All the gain, all the good, of the elements’ strife.

Have you seen but a bright lily grow

Before rude hands have touch’d it?
Have you mark’d but the fall of the snow
Before the soil hath smutch’d it?
Have you felt the wool of beaver,
Or swan’s down ever?
O have smelt o’ the bud o’ the brier,
Or the nard in the fire?
Or have tasted the bag of the bee?
O so white, O so soft, O so sweet is she!

That envy wish’d, and nature fear’d:

And on them burn so chaste a flame,

With so much loyalty’s expense,
As Love to acquit such excellence
Is gone himself into your name.

And you are he—the deity

To whom all lovers are design’d

Among which faithful troop am I—

Who as an off’ring at your shrine

Have sung this hymn, and here entreat

To light upon a love of mine.

A Farewell to the World
FALSE world, good night! since thou hast brought
That hour upon my morn of age;
Henceforth I quit thee from my thought,
My part is ended on thy stage.

Yes, threaten, do. Alas! I fear

As little as I hope from thee:
I know thou canst not show nor bear
More hatred than thou hast to me.

My tender, first, and simple years

Thou didst abuse and then betray;
Since stir’d’st up jealousies and fears,
When all the causes were away.

Then in a soil hast planted me

Where breathe the basest of thy fools;
Where envious arts professèd be,
And pride and ignorance the schools;

Where nothing is examined, weigh’d,

But as ’tis rumour’d, so believed;
Where every freedom is betray’d,
And every goodness tax’d or grieved.

But what we’re born for, we must bear:

Our frail condition it is such
That what to all may happen here,
If ’t chance to me, I must not grutch.

Else I my state should much mistake

To harbour a divided thought
From all my kind—that, for my sake,
There should a miracle be wrought.

No, I do know that I was born

To age misfortune sickness grief:
 To age, misfortune, sickness, grief:
But I will bear these with that scorn
As shall not need thy false relief.

Nor for my peace will I go far,

As wanderers do, that still do roam;
But make my strengths, such as they are,
Here in my bosom, and at home.

The Noble Balm
 HIGH-spirited friend,
I send nor balms nor cor’sives to your wound:
Your fate hath found
A gentler and more agile hand to tend
The cure of that which is but corporal;
And doubtful days, which were named critical,
Have made their fairest flight
And now are out of sight.
Yet doth some wholesome physic for the mind
Wrapp’d in this paper lie,
Which in the taking if you misapply,
You are unkind.

Your covetous hand,

Happy in that fair honour it hath gain’d,
Must now be rein’d.
True valour doth her own renown command
In one full action; nor have you now more
To do, than be a husband of that store.
Think but how dear you bought
This fame which you have caught:
Such thoughts will make you more in love with truth.
’Tis wisdom, and that high,
For men to use their fortune reverently,
Even in youth.

On Elizabeth L. H.
 WOULDST thou hear what Man can say
In a little? Reader, stay.
Underneath this stone doth lie
As much Beauty as could die:
Which in life did harbour give
To more Virtue than doth live.
If at all she had a fault,
Leave it buried in this vault.
One name was Elizabeth,
The other, let it sleep with death:
Fitter, where it died, to tell
Than that it lived at all. Farewell.

On Salathiel Pavy
A child of Queen Elizabeth’s Chapel
 WEEP with me, all you that read
This little story;
And know, for whom a tear you shed
Death’s self is sorry.
’Twas a child that so did thrive
In grace and feature,
As Heaven and Nature seem’d to strive
Which own’d the creature.
Years he number’d scarce thirteen
When Fates turn’d cruel,
Yet three fill’d zodiacs had he been
The stage’s jewel;
And did act (what now we moan)
Old men so duly,
As sooth the Parcae thought him one,
He play’d so truly.
So, by error, to his fate
They all consented;
But, viewing him since, alas, too late!
They have repented;
And have sought, to give new birth,
In baths to steep him;
But, being so much too good for earth,
Heaven vows to keep him.

A Part of an Ode
to the Immortal Memory and Friendship of that noble pair, Sir
Lucius Cary and Sir H. Morison
 IT is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see;
And in short measures, life may perfect be.

Call, noble Lucius, then for wine,

And let thy looks with gladness shine:
Accept this garland, plant it on thy head,
And think—nay, know—thy Morison’s not dead.
He leap’d the present age,
Possest with holy rage
To see that bright eternal Day
Of which we Priests and Poets say
Such truths as we expect for happy men;
And there he lives with memory—and Ben

Jonson: who sung this of him, ere he went

Himself to rest,
Or tast a part of that full joy he meant
To have exprest
In this bright Asterism
Where it were friendship’s schism—
Were not his Lucius long with us to tarry—
To separate these twy
Lights, the Dioscuri,
And keep the one half from his Harry.
But fate doth so alternate the design,
Whilst that in Heav’n, this light on earth must shine.

And shine as you exalted are!

 Two names of friendship, but one star:
Of hearts the union: and those not by chance
Made, or indenture, or leased out to advance
The profits for a time.
No pleasures vain did chime
Of rimes or riots at your feasts,
Orgies of drink or feign’d protests;
But simple love of greatness and of good,
That knits brave minds and manners more than blood.

This made you first to know the Why

You liked, then after, to apply
That liking, and approach so one the t’other
Till either grew a portion of the other:
Each stylèd by his end
The copy of his friend.
You lived to be the great surnames
And titles by which all made claims
Unto the Virtue—nothing perfect done
But as a CARY or a MORISON.

And such the force the fair example had

As they that saw
The good, and durst not practise it, were glad
That such a law
Was left yet to mankind,
Where they might read and find
Friendship indeed was written, not in words,
And with the heart, not pen,
Of two so early men,
Whose lines her rules were and records:
Who, ere the first down bloomed on the chin,
Had sow’d these fruits, and got the harvest in.

Daybreak

STAY, O sweet, and do not rise!

The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not: it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part.
Stay! or else my joys will die
And perish in their infancy.

196.
Song
 GO and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil’s foot;
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be’st born to strange sights,

Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights
Till Age snow white hairs on thee;
Thou, when thou return’st, wilt tell me
All strange wonders that befell thee,
And swear
No where
Lives a woman true and fair.

If thou find’st one, let me know;

Such a pilgrimage were sweet,
Yet do not; I would not go,
Though at next door we might meet.
Though she were true when you met her,
And last till you write your letter,
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two or three.

197.

That Time and Absence proves

Rather helps than hurts to loves
 ABSENCE, hear thou my protestation
Against thy strength,
Distance and length:
Do what thou canst for alteration,
For hearts of truest mettle
Absence doth join and Time doth settle.

Who loves a mistress of such quality,

His mind hath found
Affection’s ground
Beyond time, place, and all mortality.
To hearts that cannot vary
Absence is present, Time doth tarry.

My senses want their outward motion

Which now within
Reason doth win,
Redoubled by her secret notion:
Like rich men that take pleasure
In hiding more than handling treasure.

By Absence this good means I gain,

That I can catch her
Where none can watch her,
In some close corner of my brain:
There I embrace and kiss her,
And so enjoy her and none miss her.

198.
The Ecstasy
 WHERE, like a pillow on a bed,
A pregnant bank swell’d up, to rest
The violet’s reclining head,
Sat we two, one another’s best.

Our hands were firmly cèmented

By a fast balm which thence did spring;
Our eye-beams twisted, and did thread
Our eyes upon one double string.

So to engraft our hands, as yet

Was all the means to make us one;
And pictures in our eyes to get
Was all our propagation.

As ’twixt two equal armies Fate

Suspends uncertain victory,
Our souls—which to advance their state
Were gone out—hung ’twixt her and me.

And whilst our souls negotiate there,

We like sepulchral statues lay;
All day the same our postures were,
And we said nothing, all the day.

199.
The Dream
 DEAR love, for nothing less than thee
Would I have broke this happy dream,
It was a theme
For reason, much too strong for fantasy.
Therefore thou waked’st me wisely; yet
My dream thou brok’st not, but continued’st it.
Thou art so true that thoughts of thee suffice
To make dreams truths and fables histories;
Enter these arms, for since thou thought’st it best
Not to dream all my dream, let’s act the rest.

As lightning, or a taper’s light,

Thine eyes, and not thy noise, waked me;
Yet I thought thee—
For thou lov’st truth—an angel, at first sight;
But when I saw thou saw’st my heart,
And knew’st my thoughts beyond an angel’s art,
When thou knew’st what I dreamt, when thou knew’st when
Excess of joy would wake me, and cam’st then,
I must confess it could not choose but be
Profane to think thee anything but thee.

Coming and staying show’d thee thee,

But rising makes me doubt that now
Thou art not thou.
That Love is weak where Fear’s as strong as he;
’Tis not all spirit pure and brave
If mixture it of Fear, Shame, Honour have.
Perchance as torches, which must ready be,
Men light and put out, so thou deal’st with me.
Thou cam’st to kindle, go’st to come: then I
Will dream that hope again, but else would die.

200.
The Funeral
 WHOEVER comes to shroud me, do not harm
Nor question much
That subtle wreath of hair about mine arm;
The mystery, the sign you must not touch,
For ’tis my outward soul,
Viceroy to that which, unto heav’n being gone,
Will leave this to control
And keep these limbs, her provinces, from dissolution.

For if the sinewy thread my brain lets fall

Through every part
Can tie those parts, and make me one of all;
Those hairs, which upward grew, and strength and art
Have from a better brain,
Can better do’t: except she meant that I
By this should know my pain,
As prisoners then are manacled, when they’re condemn’d to die.

Whate’er she meant by ’t, bury it with me,

For since I am
Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry
If into other hands these reliques came.
As ’twas humility
T’ afford to it all that a soul can do,
So ’tis some bravery
That, since you would have none of me, I bury some of you.

201.
A Hymn to God the Father
 WILT Thou forgive that sin where I begun,
Which was my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt Thou forgive that sin through which I run,
And do run still, though still I do deplore?
When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;
For I have more.

Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I have won

Others to sin, and made my sins their door?
Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun
A year or two, but wallow’d in a score?
When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;
For I have more.

I have a sin of fear, that when I’ve spun

My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
But swear by Thyself that at my death Thy Son
Shall shine as He shines now and heretofore:
And having done that, Thou hast done;
I fear no more.

202.
Death
DEATH, be not proud, though some have callèd thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so:
For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death; nor yet canst thou kill me.
From Rest and Sleep, which but thy picture be,
Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow;
And soonest our best men with thee do go—
Rest of their bones and souls’ delivery!
Thou’rt slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke. Why swell’st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die!

Philomel
AS it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap and birds did sing,
Trees did grow and plants did spring;
Everything did banish moan
Save the Nightingale alone:
She, poor bird, as all forlorn
Lean’d her breast up-till a thorn,
And there sung the dolefull’st ditty,
That to hear it was great pity.
Fie, fie, fie! now would she cry;
Tereu, Tereu! by and by;
That to hear her so complain
Scarce I could from tears refrain;
For her griefs so lively shown
Made me think upon mine own.
Ah! thought I, thou mourn’st in vain,
None takes pity on thy pain:
Senseless trees they cannot hear thee,
Ruthless beasts they will not cheer thee:
King Pandion he is dead,
All thy friends are lapp’d in lead;
All thy fellow birds do sing
Careless of thy sorrowing:
Even so, poor bird, like thee,
None alive will pity me.

Sweet Content

ART thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers?

O sweet content!
Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex’d?
O punishment!
Dost thou laugh to see how fools are vex’d
To add to golden numbers golden numbers?
O sweet content! O sweet, O sweet content!
Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;
Then hey nonny nonny—hey nonny nonny!

Canst drink the waters of the crispèd spring?

O sweet content!
Swim’st thou in wealth, yet sink’st in thine own tears?
O punishment!
Then he that patiently want’s burden bears,
No burden bears, but is a king, a king!
O sweet content! O sweet, O sweet content!
Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;
Then hey nonny nonny—hey nonny nonny!

Matin Song

PACK, clouds, away! and welcome, day!

With night we banish sorrow.
Sweet air, blow soft; mount, lark, aloft
To give my Love good-morrow!
Wings from the wind to please her mind,
Notes from the lark I’ll borrow:
Bird, prune thy wing! nightingale, sing!
To give my Love good-morrow!
To give my Love good-morrow
Notes from them all I’ll borrow.

Wake from thy nest, robin red-breast!

Sing, birds, in every furrow!
And from each bill let music shrill
Give my fair Love good-morrow!
Blackbird and thrush in every bush,
Stare, linnet, and cocksparrow,
You pretty elves, among yourselves
Sing my fair Love good-morrow!
To give my Love good-morrow!
Sing, birds, in every furrow!

The Message
YE little birds that sit and sing
Amidst the shady valleys,
And see how Phillis sweetly walks
Within her garden-alleys;
Go, pretty birds, about her bower;
Sing, pretty birds, she may not lower;
Ah me! methinks I see her frown!
Ye pretty wantons, warble.

Go tell her through your chirping bills,

As you by me are bidden,
To her is only known my love,
Which from the world is hidden.
Go, pretty birds, and tell her so,
See that your notes strain not too low.
For still methinks I see her frown;
Ye pretty wantons, warble.

Go tune your voices’ harmony

And sing, I am her lover;
Strain loud and sweet, that every note
With sweet content may move her:
And she that hath the sweetest voice,
Tell her I will not change my choice:
—Yet still methinks I see her frown!
Ye pretty wantons, warble.

O fly! make haste! see, see, she falls

Into a pretty slumber!
Sing round about her rosy bed
That waking she may wonder:
Say to her, ’tis her lover true
That sendeth love to you, to you!
And when you hear her kind reply,
Return with pleasant warblings.

Sleep

COME, Sleep, and with thy sweet deceiving

Lock me in delight awhile;
Let some pleasing dreams beguile
All my fancies; that from thence
I may feel an influence
All my powers of care bereaving!

Though but a shadow, but a sliding,

Let me know some little joy!
We that suffer long annoy
Are contented with a thought
Through an idle fancy wrought:
O let my joys have some abiding!

Bridal Song
 CYNTHIA, to thy power and thee
We obey.
Joy to this great company!
And no day
Come to steal this night away
Till the rites of love are ended,
And the lusty bridegroom say,
Welcome, light, of all befriended!

Pace out, you watery powers below;

Let your feet,
Like the galleys when they row,
Even beat;
Let your unknown measures, set
To the still winds, tell to all
That gods are come, immortal, great,
To honour this great nuptial!

Aspatia’s Song

LAY a garland on my herse

Of the dismal yew;
Maidens, willow branches bear;
Say, I died true.

My love was false, but I was firm

From my hour of birth.
Upon my buried body lie
Lightly, gentle earth!
