| All sacrific'd to my desire | B |

| And fixt the wild and wandring Thought | C |
| - | |
| I never vow'd nor sigh'd in vain | D |
| But both th false were well receiv'd | E |

| And th I talked of Wounds and Smart | F |
| Loves Pleasures only toucht my Heart | F |

| Alone the Glory and the Spoil | G |
| I always Laughing bore away | H |
| The Triumphs without Pain or Toil | G |
| Without the Hell the Heav'n of Joy | I |
| And while I thus at random rove | J |
| Despise the Fools that whine for Love | K |
