| Since dewy sweet Flora | B |
| Was ravished by Zephyr | A |
| Was such a thing heard | C |
| In the valleys so hollow | D |
| Till rosy Aurora | B |
| Uprising as ever | A |
| Bright Phosphor to follow | D |
| Pale Phoebe to sever | A |
| Was caught like a bird | C |
| To the breast of Apollo | D |
| - | |
| Wildly she flutters | E |
| And flushes all over | A |
| With passionate mutters | E |
| Of shame to the hush | F |
| Of his amorous whispers | E |

| Her limbs richly blushing | G |
| She lay sweetly wailing | G |
| In odours that gloomed | C |
| On the God as he bloomed | C |
| O'er her loveliness paling | G |
| - | |
| Great Pan in his covert | C |
| Beheld the rare glistening | G |
| The cry of the love hurt | C |
| The sigh and the kiss | E |
| Of the latest close mingling | G |
| But love thought he listening | G |
| Will not do a dove hurt | C |
| I know and a tingling | G |
| Latent with bliss | E |
| Prickt thro' him I wis | E |
| For the Nymph he was singling | G |
