| The pleasant gale that to the sun unplaits | B |
| And spreads the gold Love's fingers weave and braid | C |
| O'er her fine eyes and all around her head | D |
| Fetters my heart the wishful sigh creates | B |
| No nerve but thrills no artery but beats | B |
| Approaching my fair arbiter with dread | D |
| Who in her doubtful scale hath ofttimes weigh'd | C |
| Whether or death or life on me awaits | B |
| Beholding too those eyes their fires display | E |
| And on those shoulders shine such wreaths of hair | A |
| Whose witching tangles my poor heart ensnare | A |
| But how this magic's wrought I cannot say | E |
| For twofold radiance doth my reason blind | F |
| And sweetness to excess palls and o'erpowers my mind | F |

| The soft gale to the sun which shakes and spreads | B |
| The gold which Love's own hand has spun and wrought | H |
| There with her bright eyes and those fairy threads | B |
| Binds my poor heart and sifts each idle thought | H |
| My veins of blood my bones of marrow fail | I |
| Thrills all my frame when I to hear or gaze | B |
| Draw near to her who oft in balance frail | I |
| My life and death together holds and weighs | B |
| And see those love fires shine wherein I burn | J |
| And as its snow each sweetest shoulder heaves | B |
| Flash the fair tresses right and left by turn | J |
| Verse fails to paint what fancy scarce conceives | B |
| From two such lights is intellect distress'd | K |
| And by such sweetness weary and oppress'd | K |
