| - | |
| MISTRESS of me mistress of all the arts | B |
| And charms that sway men's hot ungoverned hearts | B |
| Receive their tribute smile at their defeat | C |
| I do not ask that you should spare them sweet | C |
| Only I ask that in the secret shrine | D |
| No prayers be heard no offering laid but mine | D |
| Each man who sees your eyes must needs lay down | E |
| Low at your feet the votive myrtle crown | E |
| Let them bring crowns to die beneath your feet | C |
| I only I must bring the crown you wear | F |
| Shadowing the sombre glory of your hair | F |
