| As in my youth O faithful one | B |
| For years I've brushed thee every day | A |
| Could Socrates have better done | B |
| What though the fates would wreak on thee | C |
| The fulness of their evil art | D |
| Use thou philosophy like me | C |
| And we old friend shall never part | D |
| - | |
| I think I often think of it | E |
| The day we twain first faced the crowd | F |
| My roistering friends impeached your fit | E |
| But you and I were very proud | F |
| Those jovial friends no more make free | C |
| With us no longer new and smart | D |
| But rather welcome you and me | C |
| As loving friends that should not part | D |
| - | |
| The patch Oh yes one happy night | G |
| Lisette says I it's time to go | H |
| She clutched this sleeve to stay my flight | G |
| Shrieking What leave so early No | H |
| To mend the ghastly rent she'd made | I |
| Three days she toiled dear patient heart | D |
| And I right willingly I staid | I |
| Lisette decreed we should not part | D |
| - | |
| No incense ever yet profaned | D |
| This honest shiny warp of thine | J |
| Nor hath a courtier's eye disdained | D |
| Thy faded hue and quaint design | J |
| Let servile flattery be the price | K |
| Of ribbons in the royal mart | D |
| A roadside posie shall suffice | K |
| For us two friends that must not part | D |
| - | |
| Fear not the recklessness of yore | L |
| Shall re occur to vex thee now | M |
| Alas I am a youth no more | L |
| I'm old and sere and so art thou | M |
| So bide with me unto the last | D |
| And with thy warmth caress this heart | D |
| That pleads by memories of the Past | D |
| That two such friends should never part | D |
