| There's plaited linen round his head | L |
| While foremost go his feet | M |
| His feet that cannot carry him | N |
| My feast's a show my lights are dim | N |
| Be still your music is not sweet | M |
| There is no music more for him | N |
| His lights are out his feast is done | O |
| His bowl that sparkled to the brim | N |
| Is drained is broken cannot hold | P |
| My blood is chill his blood is cold | P |
| His death is full and mine begun | O |
