| In vain that Sound your Voice affords | A |
| Flatters sometimes my easy Mind | G |
| But of too vast Extent are Words | A |
| In them the Jewel Truth to find | G |
| - | |
| Then let my fond Enquiries cease | A |
| And so let all my Troubles end | G |
| For sure that Heart shall ne'er know Peace | A |
| Which on Anothers do's depend | G |
