| So fondly made so soon unmade | B |
| I trusted thee all men above | A |
| Ah fatal trust so soon betrayed | B |
| A dream that wore the face of truth | C |
| Was what I loved The dream has flown | D |

| My hope forgetfulness alone | D |
| And all my speech the one refrain | G |
| Had I but known Had I but known | D |
