Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFAF HIJIKI IJLJJJ IMJMNO PIQIRI| O mother Venus quit I pray | A |
| Your violent assailing | B |
| The arts forsooth that fired my youth | C |
| At last are unavailing | B |
| My blood runs cold I'm getting old | D |
| And all my powers are failing | B |
| - | |
| Speed thou upon thy white swans' wings | E |
| And elsewhere deign to mellow | F |
| With thy soft arts the anguished hearts | G |
| Of swains that writhe and bellow | F |
| And right away seek out I pray | A |
| Young Paullus he's your fellow | F |
| - | |
| You'll find young Paullus passing fair | H |
| Modest refined and tony | I |
| Go now incite the favored wight | J |
| With Venus for a crony | I |
| He'll outshine all at feast and ball | K |
| And conversazione | I |
| - | |
| Then shall that godlike nose of thine | I |
| With perfumes be requited | J |
| And then shall prance in Salian dance | L |
| The girls and boys delighted | J |
| And while the lute blends with the flute | J |
| Shall tender loves be plighted | J |
| - | |
| But as for me as you can see | I |
| I'm getting old and spiteful | M |
| I have no mind to female kind | J |
| That once I deemed delightful | M |
| No more brim up the festive cup | N |
| That sent me home at night full | O |
| - | |
| Why do I falter in my speech | P |
| O cruel Ligurine | I |
| Why do I chase from place to place | Q |
| In weather wet and shiny | I |
| Why down my nose forever flows | R |
| The tear that's cold and briny | I |
