| Either that blind desire which life destroys | C |
| Counting the hours deceives my misery | D |
| Or even while yet I speak the moment flies | E |
| Promised at once to pity and to me | D |
| Alas what baneful shade o'erhangs and dries | E |
| The seed so near its full maturity | D |
| 'Twixt me and hope what brazen walls arise | E |
| From murderous wolves not even my fold is free | D |
| Ah woe is me Too clearly now I find | F |
| That felon Love to aggravate my pain | G |
| Mine easy heart hath thus to hope inclined | F |
| And now the maxim sage I call to mind | F |
| That mortal bliss must doubtful still remain | G |
| Till death from earthly bonds the soul unbind | F |

| Counting the hours lest I myself mislead | F |
| By blind desire wherewith my heart is torn | H |
| E'en while I speak away the moments speed | F |
| To me and pity which alike were sworn | H |
| What shade so cruel as to blight the seed | F |
| Whence the wish'd fruitage should so soon be born | H |
| What beast within my fold has leap'd to feed | F |
| What wall is built between the hand and corn | H |
| Alas I know not but if right I guess | I |
| Love to such joyful hope has only led | F |
| To plunge my weary life in worse distress | I |
| And I remember now what once I read | F |
| Until the moment of his full release | J |
| Man's bliss begins not nor his troubles cease | J |
