| 'Twas time at last from so long war to find | C |
| Some peace or truce and haply both were nigh | D |
| But Death their welcome feet has turn'd behind | C |
| Who levels all distinctions low as high | D |
| And as a cloud dissolves before the wind | C |
| So she who led me with her lustrous eye | D |
| Whom ever I pursue with faithful mind | C |
| Her fair life briefly ending sought the sky | D |
| Had she but stay'd as I grew changed and old | E |
| Her tone had changed and no distrust had been | F |
| To parley with me on my cherish'd ill | G |
| With what frank sighs and fond I then had told | E |
| My lifelong toils which now from heaven I ween | F |
| She sees and with me sympathises still | G |

| My life's long warfare seem'd about to cease | I |
| Peace had my spirit's contest well nigh freed | J |
| But levelling Death who doth to all concede | J |
| An equal doom clipp'd Time's blest wings of peace | I |
| As zephyrs chase the clouds of gathering fleece | I |
| So did her life from this world's breath recede | J |
| Their vision'd light could once my footsteps lead | K |
| But now my all save thought she doth release | I |
| Oh would that she her flight awhile had stay'd | L |
| For Time had stamp'd on me his warning hand | M |
| And calmer I had told my storied love | N |
| To her in virtue's tone I had convey'd | L |
| My heart's long grief now she doth understand | M |
| And sympathises with that grief above | N |
