| Love Fortune and my melancholy mind | C |
| Sick of the present lingering on the past | D |
| Afflict me so that envious thoughts I cast | D |
| On those who life's dark shore have left behind | C |
| Love racks my bosom Fortune's wintry wind | C |
| Kills every comfort my weak mind at last | D |
| Is chafed and pines so many ills and vast | D |
| Expose its peace to constant strifes unkind | C |
| Nor hope I better days shall turn again | E |
| But what is left from bad to worse may pass | F |
| For ah already life is on the wane | G |
| Not now of adamant but frail as glass | F |
| I see my best hopes fall from me or fade | H |
| And low in dust my fond thoughts broken laid | H |

| Love Fortune and my ever faithful mind | C |
| Which loathes the present in its memoried past | D |
| So wound my spirit that on all I cast | D |
| An envied thought who rest in darkness find | C |
| My heart Love prostrates Fortune more unkind | C |
| No comfort grants until its sorrow vast | D |
| Impotent frets then melts to tears at last | D |
| Thus I to painful warfare am consign'd | C |
| My halcyon days I hope not to return | J |
| But paint my future by a darker tint | K |
| My spring is gone my summer well nigh fled | L |
| Ah wretched me too well do I discern | J |
| Each hope is now unlike the diamond flint | K |
| A fragile mirror with its fragments shed | L |
