Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGDGD HIHJKDLD| When fairer faces turn from me | A |
| And gayer friends grow cold | B |
| And I have lost through poverty | A |
| The friendship bought with gold | B |
| When I have served the selfish turn | C |
| Of some all worldly few | D |
| And Folly s lamps have ceased to burn | C |
| Then I ll come back to you | D |
| When my admirers find I m not | E |
| The rising star they thought | F |
| And praise or blame is all forgot | E |
| My early promise brought | F |
| When brighter rivals lead a host | G |
| Where once I led a few | D |
| And kinder times reward their boast | G |
| Then I ll come back to you | D |

| You loved me not for what I had | H |
| Or what I might have been | I |
| You saw the good but not the bad | H |
| Was kind for that between | J |

| That you will judge me true | D |
| I ll be too tired to explain | L |
| When I come back to you | D |
