| Of Love's incessant tumultuous wing | A |
| Her lover's tokens she would answer not | B |
| 'Twere well she should be strange with him somewhat | C |
| A pretty babe this Love but fie on it | D |
| That would not suffer her lay it down a whit | D |

| She saw him at his gate yet stilled her tongue | G |
| So weak she felt her that she would feel strong | H |
| And she must punish him for doing him wrong | H |
| Passed unoblivious of oblivion still | I |
| And if she turned upon the brow o' the hill | I |
| It was so openly so lightly done | J |
| You saw she thought he was not thought upon | K |
| He through the gate went back in bitterness | L |
| She that night woke and stirred with no distress | M |
| Glad of her doing sedulous to be glad | N |
| Lest perhaps her foolish heart suspect that it was sad | N |
