| When by misfortune sad to say | D |
| A nightingale fell in his way | D |
| Spring's herald begg'd him not to eat | E |

| And should it please you not to kill | I |
| My song about his fall | J |
| Your very heart shall thrill | I |
| As it indeed does all ' | - |

| When I am faint and famishing | K |
| To let you go and hear you sing ' | - |

| Your tale full wonderful no doubt | M |
| For me a kite I'll go without ' | - |
| An empty stomach hath no ear | L |
