| - | |
| - | |
| Enough of love Let break its every hold | B |
| Ended my youthful folly for I know | A |
| That like the dazzling glister shedding snow | A |
| Celia thou art beautiful but cold | B |
| I do not find in thee that warmth which glows | C |
| Which all these dreary days my heart has sought | D |
| That warmth without which love is lifeless naught | D |
| More than a painted fruit a waxen rose | C |
| - | |
| Such love as thine scarce can it bear love's name | E |
| Deaf to the pleading notes of his sweet lyre | F |
| A frank impulsive heart I wish to claim | E |
| A heart that blindly follows its desire | G |
| I wish to embrace a woman full of flame | E |
| I want to kiss a woman made of fire | G |
