| Fall'n that proud Column fall'n that Laurel tree | C |
| Whose shelter once relieved my wearied mind | D |
| I'm reft of what I ne'er again shall find | D |
| Though ransack'd every shore and every sea | C |
| Double the treasure death has torn from me | C |
| In which life's pride was with its pleasure join'd | E |
| Not eastern gems nor the world's wealth combined | D |
| Can give it back nor land nor royalty | C |
| But if so fate decrees what can I more | F |
| Than with unceasing tears these eyes bedew | C |
| Abase my visage and my lot deplore | F |
| Ah what is life so lovely to the view | G |
| How quickly in one little morn is lost | C |
| What years have won with labour and with cost | C |

| My laurell'd hope and thou Colonna proud | C |

| Nor Boreas Auster Indus Afric's shore | F |
| Can give me that whose loss my soul hath bow'd | C |
| My step exulting and my joy avow'd | C |
| Death now hath quench'd with ye my heart's twin store | F |
| Nor earth's high rule nor gems nor gold's bright ore | F |
| Can e'er bring back what once my heart endow'd | C |
| But if this grief my destiny hath will'd | C |
| What else can I oppose but tearful eyes | H |
| A sorrowing bosom and a spirit quell'd | C |
| O life whose vista seems so brightly fill'd | C |
| A sunny breath and that exhaling dies | H |
| The hope oft many watchful years have swell'd | C |
