And Hero s auburn tresses | B |
Of Bella s back abundance where | A |
The sun throws his caresses | B |
I ve sung of curl and coil and braid | C |
On meshes I ve dilated | D |
Until at last I m sore afraid | C |
There s nothing re the hair of maid | C |
That I have left unstated | E |

Twill much relieve the constant strain | F |
Of rhyming to extol her | G |
When on the roof of Sophie s brain | F |
Appears a bright cupola | H |
The poet s verse will freshly run | I |
Effects will come much faster | G |
If he may tell the darling one | I |
Her skull is glowing like the sun | I |
And smooth as alabaster | G |

New stimulus the singer nerves | J |
When beauty scorning switches | K |
Adds to her many swelling curves | J |
A baldness that bewitches | J |
We ve sung too many wigs I swear | A |
And now the poet mocks myths | J |
For Juliet in her head of air | A |
Outshines the moon and everywhere | A |
Love really laughs at locksmiths | J |
