| From thy far sources 'mid mountains airily climbing | B |
| Pass to the rich lowland thou busy sunny river | C |
| Murmuring once dimpling pellucid limpid abundant | D |
| Deepening now widening swelling a lordly river | C |
| Through woodlands steering with branches waving above thee | E |
| Through the meadows sinuous wandering irriguous | F |
| Towns hamlets leaving towns by thee bridges across thee | E |
| Pass to palace garden pass to cities populous | F |
| Murmuring once dimpling 'mid woodlands wandering idly | E |
| Now with mighty vessels loaded a mighty river | C |
| Pass to the great waters though tides may seem to resist thee | E |
| Tides to resist seeming quickly will lend thee passage | G |
| Pass to the dark waters that roaring wait to receive thee | E |
| Pass them thou wilt not thou busy sunny river | C |

| Trunks the forest yielded with gums ambrosial oozing | B |
| Boughs with apples laden beautiful Hesperian | H |
| Golden odoriferous perfume exhaling about them | I |
| Orbs in a dark umbrage luminous and radiant | D |
| To the palate grateful more luscious were not in Eden | H |
| Or in that fabled garden of Alcino s | F |
| Out of a dark umbrage sounds also musical issued | J |
| Birds their sweet transports uttering in melody | E |
| Thrushes clear piping wood pigeons cooing arousing | B |
| Loudly the nightingale loudly the sylvan echoes | F |
| Waters transpicuous flowed under flowed to the list'ning | B |
| Ear with a soft murmur softly soporiferous | F |
| Nor with ebon locks too there wanted circling attentive | K |
| Unto the sweet fluting girls of a swarthy shepherd | L |
| Over a sunny level their flocks are lazily feeding | B |
| They of Amor musing rest in a leafy cavern | H |
