| Thou leanest to the shell of night | B |
| Dear lady a divining ear | C |
| In that soft choiring of delight | B |
| What sound hath made thy heart to fear | D |
| Seemed it of rivers rushing forth | E |
| From the grey deserts of the north | E |
| - | |
| That mood of thine | F |
| Is his if thou but scan it well | G |
| Who a mad tale bequeaths to us | H |
| At ghosting hour conjurable | G |
| And all for some strange name he read | I |
| In Purchas or in Holinshed | I |
