| Seek not for thou shalt not find it what my end what thine shall be | B |
| Ask not of Chaldaea's science what God wills Leuconoe | C |
| Better far what comes to bear it Haply many a wintry blast | D |
| Waits thee still and this it may be Jove ordains to be thy last | D |
| Which flings now the flagging sea wave on the obstinate sandstone reef | E |
| Be thou wise fill up the wine cup shortening since the time is brief | E |
| Hopes that reach into the future While I speak hath stol'n away | F |
| Jealous Time Mistrust To morrow catch the blossom of To day | F |
