| Fair Venus from thy native heaven | H |
| What heart unfeeling would despise | G |
| The sweetest boon the Gods have given | H |

| This very day this very hour | K |
| May I resign this fleeting breath | T |
| Nor quit my silent humble bower | K |
| A doom to me far worse than death | T |
| - | |
| Have I not heard the exile's sigh | R |
| And seen the exile's silent tear | U |
| Through distant climes condemn'd to fly | R |
| A pensive weary wanderer here | V |
| Ah hapless dame no sire bewails | M |
| No friend thy wretched fate deplores | M |
| No kindred voice with rapture hails | M |

| To fair affection's truth unknown | W |
| Bids her he fondly lov'd depart | F |
| Unpitied helpless and alone | W |
| Who ne'er unlocks with silver key | X |
| The milder treasures of his soul | Y |
| May such a friend be far from me | X |
| And Ocean's storms between us roll | Y |
