| As when at times in summer's scorching heats | C |
| Lured by the light the simple insect flies | D |
| As a charm'd thing into the passer's eyes | D |
| Whence death the one and pain the other meets | C |
| Thus ever I my fatal sun to greet | E |
| Rush to those eyes where so much sweetness lies | D |
| That reason's guiding hand fierce Love defies | D |
| And by strong will is better judgment beat | E |
| I clearly see they value me but ill | A |
| And for against their torture fails my strength | F |
| That I am doom'd my life to lose at length | F |
| But Love so dazzles and deludes me still | A |
| My heart their pain and not my loss laments | G |
| And blind to its own death my soul consents | G |
