| Grief springs spontaneous | G |
| If by some monstrous growth miraculous | G |
| Pleasure at times is born of pain | I |
| It is a precious gain | I |
| O human race unto the gods so dear | L |
| Too happy in a respite brief | U |
| From any grief | U |
| Then only blessed | V |
| When Death releases thee unto thy rest | V |
