| - | |
| Naked and brave thou goest | B |
| Without one glance behind | B |
| Hast thou no fear Agathocles | C |
| Or backward grief of mind | B |
| - | |
| The dreamy dog beside thee | D |
| Presses against thy knee | D |
| He too oh sweet Agathocles | C |
| Is deaf and visioned like thee | D |
| - | |
| Thou art so lithe and lovely | D |
| And yet thou art not ours | C |
| What Delphic saying compels thee | D |
| Of kings or topless towers | C |
| - | |
| That little blowing mantle | E |
| Thou losest from thine arm | F |
| No shoon nor staff Agathocles | C |
| Nor sword to fend from harm | F |

| Thou hast the changed impersonal | E |
| Awed brow of mystery | D |
| Yesterday thou wast burning | G |
| Mad boy for Glauc ouml e | D |

| Philis thy mother calls thee | D |
| Mine eyes with tears are dim | H |
| Turn once look once Agathocles | C |
| The gods have blinded him | H |
| - | |
| Come back Agathocles the night | B |
| Brings thee what place of rest | B |
| Wine sweet are Glauc ouml e's kisses | C |
| Flower soft her budding breast | B |
| - | |
| He seems to hearken Glauc ouml e | D |
| He seems to listen and smile | I |
| Nay Philis but a god song | J |
| He follows this many a mile | I |
| - | |
| Come back come back Agathocles | C |
| He scents the asphodel | I |
| Unearthly swift he runneth | D |
| Agathocles farewell | I |
