| The Last all Bones the First all Breath | A |
| The Midd'st compos'd of Restless Fire | B |
| From each other wou'd Retire | C |
| Thro' the World resolv'd to stray | D |
| Every One a several Way | D |
| Exercising as they went | E |
| Each such Power as Fate had lent | E |
| Which if it united were | B |
| Wretched Mortals cou'd not bear | F |
| But as parting Friends do show | G |
| To what Place they mean to go | G |
| Correspondence to engage | H |
| Nominate their utmost Stage | H |
| Death declar'd he wou'd be found | I |
| Near the fatal Trumpet's sound | I |
| Or where Pestilences reign | J |
| And Quacks the greater Plagues maintain | J |
| Shaking still his sandy Glass | K |
| And mowing Human Flesh like Grass | K |
| Love as next his Leave he took | L |
| Cast on both so sweet a Look | L |
| As their Tempers near disarm'd | M |
| One relax'd and t'other warm'd | N |
| Shades for his Retreat he chose | O |
| Rural Plains and soft Repose | O |
| Where no Dowry e'er was paid | P |
| Where no Jointure e'er was made | P |
| No Ill Tongue the Nymph perplex'd | Q |
| Where no Forms the Shepherd vex'd | Q |

| Of the Fond and of the Fair | F |
| Where that was they soon should know | G |
| Au Revoir then turn'd to Go | G |

| Reputation made a Pause | R |
| Suiting her severer Laws | R |
| Second Thoughts and Third she us'd | S |
| Weighing Consequences mus'd | S |
| When at length to both she cry'd | S |
| You Two safely may Divide | S |
| To th' Antipodes may fall | T |
| And re ascend th' encompast Ball | T |
| Certain still to meet agen | G |
| In the Breasts of tortur'd Men | G |
| Who by One too far betray'd | S |
| Call in t'other to their Aid | S |
| Whilst I Tender Coy and Nice | U |
| Rais'd and ruin'd in a Trice | U |
| Either fix with those I grace | V |
| Or abandoning the Place | V |
| No Return my Nature bears | W |
| From green Youth or hoary Hairs | W |
| If thro' Guilt or Chance I sever | B |
| I once Parting Part for ever | B |
