Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEF GGHH IIEJ KKLL| For ever Fortune wilt thou prove | A |
| An unrelenting foe to love | B |
| And when we meet a mutual heart | C |
| Come in between and bid us part | C |
| - | |
| Bid us on from day to day | D |
| And wish and wish the soul away | D |
| Till youth and genial years are flown | E |
| And all the love of life is gone | F |
| - | |
| But busy busy still art thou | G |
| To bind the loveless joyless vow | G |
| The heart from pleasure to delude | H |
| And join the gentle to the rude | H |
| - | |
| For pomp and noise and senseless show | I |
| To make us Nature's joys forego | I |
| Beneath a gay dominion groan | E |
| And put the golden fetter on | J |
| - | |
| For once O Fortune hear my prayer | K |
| And I absolve thy future care | K |
| All other blessings I resign | L |
| Make but the dear Amanda mine | L |
