| Of one full likely to bestow it | C |

| Not for Sardinia's plenteous store | D |
| Nor for Calabrian herds he prayeth | E |

| Nor meads where voiceless Liris playeth | E |

| The harvest earned I'd not deny it | C |
| Yet am I pleased with my estate | F |
| My humble home my frugal diet | B |

| Child of Latonia this I crave | G |
| May peace of mind and health attend me | H |
| And down into my very grave | G |
| May this dear lyre of mine befriend me | H |
