| Cease warring thoughts and let his brain | B |
| No more discord entertain | B |
| But be smooth and calm again | C |

| Ye crystal rivers that are nigh | D |
| As your streams are passing by | D |
| Teach your murmurs harmony | E |
| - | |
| Ye winds that wait upon the spring | F |
| And perfumes to flowers do bring | F |
| Let your amorous whispers here | G |
| Breathe soft music to his ear | G |
| - | |
| Ye warbling nightingales repair | H |
| From every wood to charm this air | H |
| And with the wonders of your breast | I |
| Each striving to excel the rest | I |
| When it is time to wake him close your parts | J |
| And drop down from the trees with broken hearts | J |
