| You who have compassed land and sea | B |
| Now all unburied lie | C |
| All vain your store of human lore | D |
| For you were doomed to die | C |
| The sire of Pelops likewise fell | E |
| Jove's honored mortal guest | F |
| So king and sage of every age | G |
| At last lie down to rest | F |
| Plutonian shades enfold the ghost | H |
| Of that majestic one | I |
| Who taught as truth that he forsooth | J |
| Had once been Pentheus' son | I |
| Believe who may he's passed away | K |
| And what he did is done | I |
| A last night comes alike to all | L |
| One path we all must tread | M |
| Through sore disease or stormy seas | N |
| Or fields with corpses red | M |
| Whate'er our deeds that pathway leads | O |
| To regions of the dead | M |

| The fickle twin Illyrian gales | Q |
| Overwhelmed me on the wave | R |
| But you that live I pray you give | S |
| My bleaching bones a grave | R |
| Oh then when cruel tempests rage | G |
| You all unharmed shall be | B |
| Jove's mighty hand shall guard by land | T |
| And Neptune's on the sea | B |
| Perchance you fear to do what may | K |
| Bring evil to your race | U |
| Oh rather fear that like me here | V |
| You'll lack a burial place | U |
| So though you be in proper haste | W |
| Bide long enough I pray | K |
| To give me friend what boon shall send | X |
| My soul upon its way | K |
