| Orpheus the night is full of tears and cries | B |
| And hardly for the storm and ruin shed | C |
| Can even thine eyes be certain of her head | C |
| Who never passed out of thy spirit's eyes | B |
| But stood and shone before them in such wise | B |
| As when with love her lips and hands were fed | C |
| And with mute mouth out of the dusty dead | C |
| Strove to make answer when thou bad'st her rise | B |
| - | |
| Yet viper stricken must her lifeblood feel | D |
| The fang that stung her sleeping the foul germ | E |
| Even when she wakes of hell's most poisonous worm | E |
| Though now it writhe beneath her wounded heel | D |
| Turn yet she will not fade nor fly from thee | F |
| Wait and see hell yield up Eurydice | B |
