| Here peaceful sleeps the chaste the happy shade | B |
| Of that pure spirit which adorn'd this earth | C |
| Pure fame true beauty and transcendent worth | C |
| Rude stone beneath thy rugged breast are laid | B |
| Death sudden snatch'd the dear lamented maid | B |
| Who first to all my tender woes gave birth | C |
| Woes that estranged my sorrowing soul to mirth | C |
| While full four lustres time completely made | B |
| Sweet plant that nursed on Avignon's sweet soil | D |
| There bloom'd there died when soon the weeping Muse | E |
| Threw by the lute forsook her wonted toil | D |
| Bright spark of beauty that still fires my breast | F |
| What pitying mortal shall a prayer refuse | E |
| That Heaven may number thee amid the blest | F |

| Here rest the chaste the dear the blest remains | H |
| Of her most lovely peerless while on earth | C |
| What late was beauty spotless honour worth | C |
| Stern marble here thy chill embrace retains | H |
| The freshness of the laurel Death disdains | H |
| And hath its root thus wither'd Such the dearth | C |
| O'ertakes me Here I bury ease and mirth | C |
| And hope from twenty years of cares and pains | H |
| This happy plant Avignon lonely fed | I |
| With Life and saw it die And with it lies | J |
| My pen my verse my reason useless dead | I |
| O graceful form Fire which consuming flies | J |
| Through all my frame For blessings on thy head | I |
| Oh may continual prayers to heaven rise | J |

| Here now repose those chaste those blest remains | H |
| Of that most gentle spirit sole in earth | C |
| Harsh monumental stone that here confinest | I |
| True honour fame and beauty all o'erthrown | G |
| Death has destroy'd that Laurel green and torn | G |
| Its tender roots and all the noble meed | I |
| Of my long warfare passing if aright | I |
| My melancholy reckoning holds four lustres | H |
| O happy plant Avignon's favour'd soil | D |
| Has seen thee spring and die and here with thee | K |
| Thy poet's pen and muse and genius lies | H |
| O lovely beauteous limbs O vivid fire | L |
| That even in death hast power to melt the soul | M |
| Heaven be thy portion peace with God on high | N |
