| Their Liquid Feet go softly out | E |
| Upon a Sea of Blonde | F |
| They spurn the Air as t'were too mean | G |
| For Creatures so renowned | H |

| Their Ribbons just beyond the eye | I |
| They struggle some for Breath | J |
| And yet the Crowd applaud below | K |
| They would not encore Death | J |

| Trips frantic in a Tree | M |
| Tears open her imperial Veins | N |
| And tumbles in the Sea | M |

| The Crowd retire with an Oath | O |
| The Dust in Streets go down | P |
| And Clerks in Counting Rooms | Q |
| Observe 'Twas only a Balloon | R |
