Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JKJL| Think not while fairer nymphs invite | A |
| Thy feet dear youth to Pleasure's bowers | B |
| My faded form shall meet thy sight | A |
| And cloud my Henry's smiling hours | B |
| - | |
| Thou art the world's delighted guest | C |
| And all that pride desires is thine | D |
| Then I'll not wound thy generous breast | C |
| By numbering o'er the woes of mine | D |

| I will not say how well how long | E |
| This faithful heart has sighed for thee | F |
| But leave thee happier nymphs among | G |
| Content if thou contented be | F |
| - | |
| But Henry should Misfortune's hand | H |
| Bid all thy youth's fond triumphs fly | I |
| The crimson from thy lip command | H |
| And force the lustre from thine eye | I |
| - | |
| Then thoughtless of my own distress | J |
| I'll haste thy comforter to prove | K |
| And Henry shall my friendship bless | J |
| Although alas he scorns my love | L |
