Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH| Sweet tyrant Love but hear me now | A |
| And cure while young this pleasing smart | B |
| Or rather aid my trembling vow | A |
| And teach me to reveal my heart | B |
| - | |
| Tell her whose goodness is my bane | C |
| Whose looks have smiled my peace away | D |
| Oh whisper how she gives me pain | C |
| Whilst undesigning frank and gay | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis not for common charms I sigh | E |
| For what the vulgar beauty call | F |
| 'Tis not a cheek a lip an eye | E |
| But 'tis the soul that lights them all | F |
| - | |
| For that I drop the tender tear | G |
| For that I make this artless moan | H |
| Oh sigh it Love into her ear | I |
| And make the bashful lover known | H |
