| I cannot dance upon my Toes | B |
| No Man instructed me | C |
| But oftentimes among my mind | D |
| A Glee possesseth me | C |

| That had I Ballet knowledge | E |
| Would put itself abroad | F |
| In Pirouette to blanch a Troupe | G |
| Or lay a Prima mad | H |

| No Ringlet to my Hair | J |

| Nor rolled on wheels of snow | M |
| Till I was out of sight in sound | N |
| The House encore me so | M |
