| Spouse of penniless Ibycus | B |
| Thus late bring to a close all thy delinquencies | B |
| All thy studious infamy | C |
| Nearing swiftly the grave that not an early one | D |
| Cease girls' sport to participate | E |
| Blurring stars which were else cloudlessly brilliant | F |
| What suits her who is beautiful | G |
| Suits not equally thee rightly devastates | B |
| Thy fair daughter the homes of men | H |
| Wild as Thyad who wakes stirred by the kettle drums | B |
| Nothus' beauty constraining her | I |
| Like some kid at his play holds she her revelry | C |
| Thy years stately Luceria's | B |
| Wools more fitly become not din of harpsichords | B |
| Not pink petalled roseblossoms | B |
| Not casks drained by an old lip to the sediment | F |
