| Woe for the 'witching look of that fair face | C |
| The port where ease with dignity combined | A |
| Woe for those accents that each savage mind | A |
| To softness tuned to noblest thoughts the base | C |
| And the sweet smile from whence the dart I trace | C |
| Which now leaves death my only hope behind | A |
| Exalted soul most fit on thrones to 've shined | A |
| But that too late she came this earth to grace | C |
| For you I still must burn and breathe in you | D |
| For I was ever yours of you bereft | A |
| Full little now I reck all other care | E |
| With hope and with desire you thrill'd me through | D |
| When last my only joy on earth I left | A |
| But caught by winds each word was lost in air | E |

| Alas that touching glance that beauteous face | C |
| Alas that dignity with sweetness fraught | A |
| Alas that speech which tamed the wildest thought | A |
| That roused the coward glory to embrace | C |
| Alas that smile which in me did encase | C |
| That fatal dart whence here I hope for nought | A |
| Oh hadst thou earlier our regions sought | A |
| The world had then confess'd thy sovereign grace | C |
| In thee I breathed life's flame was nursed by thee | G |
| For I was thine and since of thee bereaved | A |
| Each other woe hath lost its venom'd sting | H |
| My soul's blest joy when last thy voice on me | G |
| In music fell my heart sweet hope conceived | A |
| Alas thy words have sped on zephyrs' wings | I |
