| To Wisdom once proud Fortune said | B |
| quot I'll give thee treasures without end | A |
| If thou wilt be my friend instead quot | A |
| - | |
| quot My choicest gifts to him I gave | C |
| And ever blest him with my smile | D |

| And wiped her brow with moisture hot | A |
| quot There runs thy friend to hang himself | G |
| Be reconciled I need thee not quot | A |
