| Listen and undo the door | B |
| Lads that waste the light in sighing | A |
| In the dark should sigh no more | B |
| Night should ease a lover's sorrow | C |
| Therefore since I go to morrow | C |
| Pity me before | B |

| In the land to which I travel | D |
| The far dwelling let me say | E |
| Once if here the couch is gravel | D |
| In a kinder bed I lay | E |
| And the breast the darnel smothers | F |
| Rested once upon another's | F |
| When it was not clay | E |
