| Sweet hearted you whose light blue eyes | B |

| You tell me doubt is Devil born | A |
| I know not one indeed I knew | C |
| In many a subtle question versed | D |
| Who touch'd a jarring lyre at first | D |
| But ever strove to make it true | C |

| As over Sina iuml 's peaks of old | L |
| While Israel made their gods of gold | L |
| Altho' the trumpet blew so loud | K |
