| The why I love her well | E |

| If with the merest glance I view | F |
| - | |
| Her black and roguish eyes | G |
| And gaze on her black eyebrows too | F |

| My spirit upward flies | G |
| Has any one a mouth so sweet | H |

| E'en that I should not mind | S |
| If she were in mine arms but held | T |
| - | |
| To quench love's thirst I'd try | U |
| And could my torments not be quell'd | T |
| - | |
| Upon her breast would die | U |
