Passion impels me Love escorts and leadsC
Pleasure attracts me habits old enchainD
Hope with its flatteries comforts me againD
And at my harass'd heart with fond touch pleadsC
Poor wretch it trusts her still and little heedsC
The blind and faithless leader of our trainD
Reason is dead the senses only reignD
One fond desire another still succeedsC
Virtue and honour beauty courtesyE
With winning words and many a graceful wayF
My heart entangled in that laurel sweetG
In thirteen hundred seven and twenty IH
'Twas April the first hour on its sixth dayF
Enter'd Love's labyrinth whence is no retreatG

By will impell'd Love o'er my path presidesJ
By Pleasure led o'ercome by Habit's reignD
Sweet Hope deludes and comforts me againD
At her bright touch my heart's despair subsidesJ
It takes her proffer'd hand and there confidesJ
To doubt its blind disloyal guide were vainD
Each sense usurps poor Reason's broken reinD
On each desire another wilder ridesJ
Grace virtue honour beauty words so dearK
Have twined me with that laurell'd bough whose powerI
My heart hath tangled in its lab'rinth sweetG
The thirteen hundred twenty seventh yearK
The sixth of April's suns in that first hourI
My entrance mark'd whence I see no retreatG
