| This wondrous Phoenix with the golden plumes | C |
| Forms without art so rare a ring to deck | D |
| That beautiful and soft and snowy neck | D |
| That every heart it melts and mine consumes | C |
| Forms too a natural diadem which lights | E |
| The air around whence Love with silent steel | F |
| Draws liquid subtle fire which still I feel | F |
| Fierce burning me though sharpest winter bites | E |
| Border'd with azure a rich purple vest | G |
| Sprinkled with roses veils her shoulders fair | H |
| Rare garment hers as grace unique alone | I |
| Fame in the opulent and odorous breast | G |
| Of Arab mountains buries her sole lair | H |
| Who in our heaven so high a pitch has flown | I |
