| - | |
| Though I thy Mithridates were | B |
| Framed to defy the poison dart | C |
| Yet must thou fold me unaware | D |
| To know the rapture of thy heart | C |
| And I but render and confess | E |
| The malice of thy tenderness | F |
| - | |
| For elegant and antique phrase | G |
| Dearest my lips wax all too wise | H |
| Nor have I known a love whose praise | G |
| Our piping poets solemnize | G |
| Neither a love where may not be | I |
| Ever so little falsity | I |
James Joyce
