| When I hear you express an affection so warm | B |
| Ne'er think my belov'd that I do not believe | C |
| For your lip would the soul of suspicion disarm | D |
| And your eye beams a ray which can never deceive | C |

| Yet still this fond bosom regrets while adoring | E |
| That love like the leaf must fall into the sear | F |
| That Age will come on when Remembrance deploring | E |
| Contemplates the scenes of her youth with a tear | G |
| - | |

| That the time must arrive when no longer retaining | E |
| Their auburn those locks must wave thin to the breeze | H |
| When a few silver hairs of those tresses remaining | E |
| Prove nature a prey to decay and disease | H |

| Tis this my belov'd which spreads gloom o'er my features | I |
| Though I ne'er shall presume to arraign the decree | J |
| Which God has proclaim'd as the fate of his creatures | I |
| In the death which one day will deprive you of me | J |

| Mistake not sweet sceptic the cause of emotion | K |
| No doubt can the mind of your lover invade | L |
| He worships each look with such faithful devotion | K |
| A smile can enchant or a tear can dissuade | L |

| But as death my belov'd soon or late shall o'ertake us | M |
| And our breasts which alive with such sympathy glow | N |
| Will sleep in the grave till the blast shall awake us | M |
| When calling the dead in Earth's bosom laid low | N |
| - | |
| - | |

| Oh then let us drain while we may draughts of pleasure | O |
| Which from passion like ours must unceasingly flow | N |
| Let us pass round the cup of Love's bliss in full measure | O |
| And quaff the contents as our nectar below | N |
