| Come gentle Venus and assuage | B |
| A warring world a bleeding age | B |

| The feathered lovers tune their throat | G |
| The desert growls a softened note | G |
| Glad o'er the meads the cattle bound | H |
| And love and harmony go round | H |
| But chief into the human heart | I |
| You strike the dear delicious dart | I |
| You teach us pleasing pangs to know | J |
| To languish in luxurious woe | J |

| Come thou delight of heaven and earth | N |
| To whom all creatures owe their birth | N |
| Oh come sweet smiling tender come | O |
| And yet prevent our final doom | P |
| For long the furious god of war | Q |
| Has crushed us with his iron car | R |
| Has raged along our ruined plains | S |
| Has soiled them with his cruel stains | S |
| Has sunk our youth in endless sleep | T |
| And made the widowed virgin weep | T |
| Now let him feel thy wonted charms | U |
| Oh take him to thy twining arms | U |
| And while thy bosom heaves on his | V |
| While deep he prints the humid kiss | W |
| Ah then his stormy heart control | X |
| And sigh thyself into his soul | X |
