| Bandusia stainless mirror of the sky | B |
| Thine is the flower crown'd bowl for thee shall die | B |
| When dawns again yon sun the kid | C |
| Whose budding horns half seen half hid | C |

| Challenge to dalliance or to strife in vain | D |
| Soon must the hope of the wild herd be slain | D |
| And those cold springs of thine | E |
| With blood incarnadine | E |
| - | |
| Fierce glows the Dog star but his fiery beam | F |
| Toucheth not thee still grateful thy cool stream | F |
| To labour wearied ox | G |
| Or wanderer from the flocks | G |
| - | |
| And henceforth thou shalt be a royal fountain | E |
| My harp shall tell how from yon cavernous mountain | E |
| Topt by the brown oak tree | H |
| Thou breakest babblingly | I |
