| And there within thy Thetis' bosom sleep | J |
| Oh could I thus my Laura's presence share | D |
| How would my patient heart its sorrows bear | D |
| Adored in life and honour'd in the dust | K |
| She that in this fond breast for ever reigns | L |
| Has pass'd the gulph of death To deck that bust | K |
| No trace of her but the sad name remains | L |
