| Two mortal foes in one fair breast combined | A |
| Beauty and Virtue in such peace allied | A |
| That ne'er rebellion ruffled that pure mind | A |
| But in rare union dwelt they side by side | A |
| By Death they now are shatter'd and disjoin'd | A |
| One is in heaven its glory and its pride | A |
| One under earth her brilliant eyes now blind | A |
| Whence stings of love once issued far and wide | A |
| That winning air that rare discourse and meek | C |
| Surely from heaven inspired that gentle glance | D |
| Which wounded my poor heart and wins it still | E |
| Are gone if I am slow her road to seek | C |
| I hope her fair and graceful name perchance | D |
| To consecrate with this worn weary quill | E |

| Within one mortal shrine two foes had met | A |
| Beauty and Virtue yet they dwelt so bright | A |
| That ne'er within the soul did they excite | A |
| Rebellious thought their union might beget | A |
| But parted to fulfil great nature's debt | A |
| One blooms in heaven exulting in its height | A |
| Its twin on earth doth rest from whose veil'd night | A |
| No more those eyes of love man's soul can fret | A |
| That speech by Heaven inspired so humbly wise | G |
| That graceful air her look so winning meek | C |
| That woke and kindles still my bosom's pain | H |
| They all have fled but if to gain her skies | G |
| I tardy seem my weary pen would seek | C |
| For her blest name a consecrated reign | H |
