| Equal to Jove that youth must be | B |
| Greater than Jove he seems to me | B |
| Who free from Jealousy's alarms | A |
| Securely views thy matchless charms | A |
| That cheek which ever dimpling glows | A |
| That mouth from whence such music flows | A |
| To him alike are always known | C |
| Reserv'd for him and him alone | C |
| Ah Lesbia though 'tis death to me | B |
| I cannot choose but look on thee | B |
| But at the sight my senses fly | D |
| I needs must gaze but gazing die | D |
| Whilst trembling with a thousand fears | A |
| Parch'd to the throat my tongue adheres | A |
| My pulse beats quick my breath heaves short | E |
| My limbs deny their slight support | E |
| Cold dews my pallid face o'erspread | E |
| With deadly languor droops my head | E |
| My ears with tingling echoes ring | F |
| And Life itself is on the wing | F |
| My eyes refuse the cheering light | E |
| Their orbs are veil'd in starless night | E |
| Such pangs my nature sinks beneath | G |
| And feels a temporary death | H |
George Gordon Lord Byron
