| This morning came to visit me | B |
| And thinking he would find some fault | C |

| Among the many lovely things | D |
| That make the magic of her face | E |
| Among the beauties black and rose | F |
| That make her body's charm and grace | E |

| Which is most fair Thou didst reply | A |
| To the Abhorred O soul of mine | G |
| No single beauty is the best | H |
| When she is all one flower divine | G |

| When all things charm me I ignore | I |
| Which one alone brings most delight | J |
| She shines before me like the dawn | K |
| And she consoles me like the night | J |

| The harmony is far too great | L |
| That governs all her body fair | M |
| For impotence to analyse | E |
| And say which note is sweetest there | M |

| O mystic metamorphosis | E |
| My senses into one sense flow | N |
| Her voice makes perfume when she speaks | E |
| Her breath is music faint and low | N |
