Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFGGHHIJKKABLL MMNNGG| I wish to tune my quivering lyre | A |
| To deed of fame and notes of fire | B |
| To echo from its rising swell | C |
| How heroes fought and nations fell | C |
| When Atreus' sons advanced to war | D |
| Or Tyrian Cadmus roved afar | E |
| But still to martial strains unknown | F |
| My lyre recurs to love alone | F |
| Fired with the hope of future fame | G |

| Beneath whose arm the Hydra bleeds | K |
| All all in vain my wayward lyre | A |
| Wakes silver notes of soft desire | B |
| Adieu ye chiefs renown'd in arms | L |
| Adieu the clang of war's alarms | L |
| To other deeds my soul is strung | M |
| And sweeter notes shall now be sung | M |
| My harp shall all its powers reveal | N |
| To tell the tale my heart must feel | N |
| Love Love alone my lyre shall claim | G |
| In songs of bliss and sighs of flame | G |
