| DIALOGUE OF THE POET WITH HIS HEART | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| P What actions fire thee and what musings fill | C |
| Soul is it peace or truce or war eterne | D |
| H Our lot I know not but as I discern | D |
| Her bright eyes favour not our cherish'd ill | C |
| P What profit with those eyes if she at will | C |
| Makes us in summer freeze in winter burn | D |
| H From him not her those orbs their movement learn | D |
| P What's he to us she sees it and is still | C |
| H Sometimes though mute the tongue the heart laments | E |
| Fondly and though the face be calm and bright | F |
| Bleeds inly where no eye beholds its grief | G |
| P Nathless the mind not thus itself contents | E |
| Breaking the stagnant woes which there unite | F |
| For misery in fine hopes finds no relief | G |

| P What act what dream absorbs thee O my soul | I |
| Say must we peace a truce or warfare hail | J |
| H Our fate I know not but her eyes unveil | J |
| The grief our woe doth in her heart enrol | J |
| P But that is vain since by her eyes' control | J |
| With nature I no sympathy inhale | J |
| H Yet guiltless she for Love doth there prevail | J |
| P No balm to me since she will not condole | J |
| H When man is mute how oft the spirit grieves | K |
| In clamorous woe how oft the sparkling eye | L |
| Belies the inward tear where none can gaze | M |
| P Yet restless still the grief the mind conceives | M |
| Is not dispell'd but stagnant seems to lie | L |
| The wretched hope not though hope aid might raise | M |
