| The graceful tree I loved so long and well | C |
| Ere its fair boughs in scorn my flame declined | D |
| Beneath its shade encouraged my poor mind | D |
| To bud and bloom and 'mid its sorrow swell | C |
| But now my heart secure from such a spell | C |
| Alas from friendly it has grown unkind | D |
| My thoughts entirely to one end confined | D |
| Their painful sufferings how I still may tell | C |
| What should he say the sighing slave of love | E |
| To whom my later rhymes gave hope of bliss | F |
| Who for that laurel has lost all but this | F |
| May poet never pluck thee more nor Jove | E |
| Exempt but may the sun still hold in hate | G |
| On each green leaf till blight and blackness wait | G |
