| Alas this heart by me was little known | C |
| In those first days when Love its depths explored | D |
| Where by degrees he made himself the lord | D |
| Of my whole life and claim'd it as his own | C |
| I did not think that through his power alone | C |
| A heart time steel'd and so with valour stored | D |
| Such proof of failing firmness could afford | D |
| And fell by wrong self confidence o'erthrown | C |
| Henceforward all defence too late will come | E |
| Save this to prove enough or little here | F |
| If to these mortal prayers Love lend his ear | F |
| Not now my prayer nor can such e'er have room | G |
| That with more mercy he consume my heart | H |
| But in the fire that she may bear her part | H |
