| Beaming a grace | C |
| Never bestowed on child of clay | B |

| When with a sudden impulse fired | E |
| Exquisite pains | F |
| Burning his veins | F |
| Wildly he woke as one inspired | E |
| - | |
| Eagerly Truth embraced the god | G |
| Filling his soul with a sense divine | H |

| Wherein the maid could have no share | K |
| Sowing his seeds | L |
| Bringing forth weeds | L |
| Seldom a rose and many a tare | K |
| - | |
| Save when the maiden was by his side | M |
| Love was erratic and rarely true | K |
| When she smiled on the graceful bride | M |
| Over the old world rose the new | K |
| Into life's skies | N |
| Blending her dyes | N |
| Fairer than those of the rainbow's hue | K |
| - | |
| Sunny eyed maidens whom Love decoys | O |
| Mark well the arts of the wayward youth | J |
| Sorrows he bringeth disguised as joys | O |
| Rose hued delights with cores of ruth | J |
| Learn to believe | P |
| Love will deceive | P |
| Save when he comes with his guardian Truth | J |
