| Ill omen'd was that star's malignant gleam | C |
| That ruled my hapless birth and dim the morn | A |
| That darted on my infant eyes the beam | C |
| And harsh the wail that told a man was born | A |
| And hard the sterile earth which first was worn | A |
| Beneath my infant feet but harder far | D |
| And harsher still the tyrant maid whose scorn | A |
| In league with savage Love inflamed the war | E |
| Of all my passions Love himself more tame | F |
| With pity soothes my ills while that cold heart | G |
| Insensible to the devouring flame | F |
| Which wastes my vitals triumphs in my smart | G |
| One thought is comfort that her scorn to bear | H |
| Excels e'er prosperous love with other earthly fair | H |

| An evil star usher'd my natal morn | A |
| If heaven have o'er us power as some have said | J |
| Hard was the cradle where I lay when born | A |
| And hard the earth where first my young feet play'd | K |
| Cruel the lady who with eyes of scorn | A |
| And fatal bow whose mark I still was made | K |
| Dealt me the wound O Love which since I mourn | A |
| Whose cure thou only with those arms canst aid | K |
| But ah to thee my torments pleasure bring | L |
| She too severer would have wished the blow | I |
| A spear head thrust and not an arrow sting | L |
| One comfort rests better to suffer so | I |
| For her than others to enjoy and I | M |
| Sworn on thy golden dart on this for death rely | M |
