| Love 'mid the grass beneath a laurel green | B |
| The plant divine which long my flame has fed | A |
| Whose shade for me less bright than sad is seen | B |
| A cunning net of gold and pearls had spread | A |
| Its bait the seed he sows and reaps I ween | B |
| Bitter and sweet which I desire yet dread | A |
| Gentle and soft his call as ne'er has been | B |
| Since first on Adam's eyes the day was shed | A |
| And the bright light which disenthrones the sun | B |
| Was flashing round and in her hand more fair | C |
| Than snow or ivory was the master rope | D |
| So fell I in the snare their slave so won | B |
| Her speech angelical and winning air | C |
| Pleasure and fond desire and sanguine hope | D |
