| Never thy veil in sun or in the shade | C |
| Lady a moment I have seen | D |
| Quitted since of my heart the queen | D |
| Mine eyes confessing thee my heart betray'd | C |
| While my enamour'd thoughts I kept conceal'd | E |
| Those fond vain hopes by which I die | F |
| In thy sweet features kindness beam'd | G |
| Changed was the gentle language of thine eye | F |
| Soon as my foolish heart itself reveal'd | E |
| And all that mildness which I changeless deem'd | G |
| All all withdrawn which most my soul esteem'd | G |
| Yet still the veil I must obey | H |
| Which whatsoe'er the aspect of the day | H |
| Thine eyes' fair radiance hides my life to overshade | H |

| Wherefore my unkind fair one say | H |
| Whether the sun fierce darts his ray | H |
| Or whether gloom o'erspreads the sky | F |
| That envious veil is ne'er thrown by | F |

| How much I long'd your charms to view | I |
| While I conceal'd each tender thought | H |
| That my fond mind's destruction wrought | H |
| Your face with pity sweetly shone | J |
| But when love made my passion known | J |
| Your sunny locks were seen no more | A |
| Nor smiled your eyes as heretofore | A |
| Behind a jealous cloud retired | H |
| Those beauties which I most admired | H |
| And shall a veil thus rule my fate | H |
| O cruel veil that whether heat | H |
| Or cold be felt art doom'd to prove | K |
| Fatal to me shadowing the lights I love | L |
