| - | |
| - | |
| From morn to eve from eve to rosy morn | B |
| On this bleak rock I'll lay me all forlorn | B |
| Here will I stay tho' tempests frown around | C |
| Fierce lightnings glare or earthquakes rock the ground | C |
| The prowling wolves the hungry birds of prey | D |
| Pierc'd with my moans will rove another way | D |
| Less steel'd than man with hearts dissolv'd they go | E |
| And lose their nature at the voice of woe | E |

| For your unhappy father's thoughtless deed | F |
| He fell alas on Gilboa's fatal plain | G |
| And gave his life 'mong thousands nobly slain | G |

| And with him all his errors found a grave | H |
| Thus fondly I | I |
| With cursed deadly hate | J |
| Against his house are hurl'd the bolts of state | J |

| While one of Saul's unfort'nate lineage lives | L |
| His word is fate myself my children all | M |
| Must in an undistinguish'd ruin fall | M |
