| Though cruelty denies my view | C |
| Those charms which led me first to love | D |
| To passion yet will I be true | C |
| Nor shall my will rebellious prove | E |
| Amid the curls of golden hair | F |
| That wave those beauteous temples round | G |
| Cupid spread craftily the snare | F |
| With which my captive heart he bound | G |
| And from those eyes he caught the ray | H |
| Which thaw'd the ice that fenced my breast | I |
| Chasing all other thoughts away | H |
| With brightness suddenly imprest | I |
| But now that hair of sunny gleam | J |
| Ah me is ravish'd from my sight | I |
| Those beauteous eyes withdraw their beam | J |
| And change to sadness past delight | I |
| A glorious death by all is prized | I |
| Tis death alone shall break my chain | K |
| Oh be Love's timid wail despised | I |
| Lovers should nobly suffer pain | K |

| By coldness or caprice | L |
| Not yet from its firm bent can passion cease | L |
| The snare was set amid those threads of gold | I |
| To which Love bound me fast | I |
| And from those bright eyes melted the long cold | I |
| Within my heart that pass'd | I |
| So sweet the spell their sudden splendour cast | I |
| Its single memory still | M |
| Deprives my soul of every other will | M |
| But now alas from me of that fine hair | F |
| Is ravish'd the dear sight | I |
| The lost light of those twin stars chaste as fair | F |
| Saddens me in her flight | I |
| But since a glorious death wins honour bright | I |
| By death and not through grief | N |
| Love from such chain shall give at last relief | N |
