| For many a crime at once to make me smart | C |
| And a delicious vengeance to obtain | D |
| Love secretly took up his bow again | E |
| As one who acts the cunning coward's part | C |
| My courage had retired within my heart | C |
| There to defend the pass bright eyes might gain | D |
| When his dread archery was pour'd amain | D |
| Where blunted erst had fallen every dart | C |
| Scared at the sudden brisk attack I found | F |
| Nor time nor vigour to repel the foe | G |
| With weapons suited to the direful need | H |
| No kind protection of rough rising ground | F |
| Where from defeat I might securely speed | H |
| Which fain I would e'en now but ah no method know | G |

| One sweet and signal vengeance to obtain | D |
| To punish in a day my life's long crime | J |
| As one who bent on harm waits place and time | J |
| Love craftily took up his bow again | D |
| My virtue had retired to watch my heart | C |
| Thence of weak eyes the danger to repell | K |
| When momently a mortal blow there fell | K |
| Where blunted hitherto dropt every dart | C |
| And thus o'erpower'd in that first attack | L |
| She had nor vigour left enough nor room | M |
| Even to arm her for my pressing need | H |
| Nor to the steep and painful mountain back | L |
| To draw me safe and scathless from that doom | M |
| Whence though alas too weak she fain had freed | H |
