| - | |
| Treasure seeking forth I sped | D |
| - | |
| Thou shalt have my soul instead | D |

| Thus I wrote and with my blood | E |
| - | |
| Ring round ring I forthwith drew | F |
| - | |
| Wondrous flames collected there | G |
| - | |
| Herbs and bones in order fair | G |
| - | |
| Till the charm had work'd aright | E |
| Then to learned precepts true | F |
| - | |
| Dug to find some treasure old | E |

| Trusting in thy spells absurd | E |
| Dig no longer fruitlessly | M |
| - | |
| Guests by night and toil by day | E |
| - | |
| Weeks laborious feast days gay | E |
| - | |
| Be thy future magic word | E |
