| See beyond the starry fold | B |
| Where a darkling orb is rolled | B |
| - | |

| Plays a babe Should I despise | C |

| Burning beryline so blue | D |
| That the sun seems peeping through | D |

| Let it be Content thy car | H |
| With the voyage to things that are | H |

| How I plunge and batten on | I |
| Earth's exentrate carrion | J |
| Deem torquoise match midden mould | B |
| Or deny the Hawk of Gold | B |
