| I would not force a painful tear | G |

| Thy innocence and mine to save | M |
| I bid thee now a last farewell | I |
| - | |
| Yes yield that breast to seek despair | G |
| And hope no more thy soft embrace | N |
| Which to obtain my soul would dare | G |
| All all reproach but thy disgrace | N |
| - | |
| At least from guilt shalt thou be free | J |
| No matron shall thy shame reprove | M |
| Though cureless pangs may prey on me | J |
| No martyr shalt thou be to love | M |
