| When first in CELIA'S ear I poured | B |
| A yet unpractised pray'r | C |
| My trembling tongue sincere ignored | B |
| The aids of sweet and fair | D |
| I only said as in me lay | E |
| I'd strive her worth to reach | F |
| She frowned and turned her eyes away | E |
| So much for truth in speech | F |

| Then DELIA came I changed my plan | G |
| I praised her to her face | H |
| I praised her features praised her fan | G |
| Her lap dog and her lace | H |
| I swore that not till Time were dead | I |
| My passion should decay | E |
| She smiling gave her hand and said | I |
| 'Twill last then for a DAY | E |
