| - | |
| That fire for ever which I thought at rest | A |
| Quench'd in the chill blood of my ripen'd years | C |
| Awakes new flames and torment in my breast | A |
| Its sparks were never all from what I see | D |
| Extinct but merely slumbering smoulder'd o'er | E |
| Haply this second error worse may be | D |
| For by the tears which I in torrents pour | F |
| Grief through these eyes distill'd from my heart's core | F |
| Which holds within itself the spark and bait | A |
| Remains not as it was but grows more great | A |
| What fire save mine had not been quench'd and kill'd | A |
| Beneath the flood these sad eyes ceaseless shed | A |
| Struggling 'mid opposites so Love has will'd | A |
| Now here now there my vain life must be led | A |
| For in so many ways his snares are spread | A |
| When most I hope him from my heart expell'd | A |
| Then most of her fair face its slave I'm held | A |
