Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFFFGGF| Well seeing I have no hope then let us part | A |
| Having long taught my flesh to master fear | B |
| I should have learned by now to rule my heart | A |
| Although Heaven knows 'tis not so easy near | B |
| Oh you were made to make men miserable | C |
| And torture those who would have joy in you | D |
| But I who could have loved you dear so well | E |
| Take pride in being a good loser too | D |
| And it has not been wholly unsuccess | F |
| For I have rescued from forgetfulness | F |
| Some moments of this precious time that flies | F |
| Adding to my past wealth of memory | G |
| The pretty way you once looked up at me | G |
| Your low sweet voice your smile and your dear eyes | F |
