| And steadfast love of years | M |
| The kindly that from childhood grew | L |
| The faithful to thy tears | N |
| If there be one that o'er the dead | O |
| Hath in thy grief borne part | P |
| And watch'd through sickness by thy bed | O |
| Call his a kindred heart | P |
| - | |
| But for those bonds all perfect made | Q |
| Wherein bright spirits blend | R |
| Like sister flowers of one sweet shade | Q |
| With the same breeze that bend | R |
| For that full bliss of thought allied | S |
| Never to mortals given | T |
| Oh lay thy lovely dreams aside | S |
| Or lift them unto Heaven | T |
