| Yes woman's love is free from guile | H |
| And pure as bright Aurora's ray | I |
| The heart will melt before her smile | H |
| And base born passions fade away | I |
| Were I the monarch of the earth | J |
| Or master of the swelling sea | B |
| I would not estimate their worth | J |
| Dear woman half the price of thee | B |
