| Are beginning to mix with the blue and the gray | B |
| Sol now commences his wonderful march | A |

| Gaily the rose | C |
| Is seen to unclose | C |
| Each of her leaves to the brightening ray | B |
| Waves on the lake | D |
| Rise sparkle and break | D |
| O Venus O Venus thy shrine is prepar'd | E |
| Far down in the valley o'erhung by the grove | F |
| Where all the day Philomel warbles unscar'd | E |
| Her silver ton'd ditty of pleasure and love | G |
| - | |
| Innocence smiling out carrols the lark | H |
| And the bosom of guilt becomes tranquil again | I |
| Nightmares and visions the fiends of the dark | H |
| Have abandon'd the blood and have flown from the brain | J |
| Higher the sun | K |
| Up heaven has run | K |
| Beaming so fierce that we feel him with pain | J |
| Man herb and flower | L |
| Droop under his power | L |
| O Venus O Venus thy shrine is prepar'd | E |
| Far down in the valley o'erhung by the grove | F |
| Where all the day Philomel warbles unscar'd | E |
| Her silver ton'd ditty of pleasure and love | G |
