Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB| Say Delia why in muslin shade | A |
| Ah say dost thou conceal those eyes | B |
| Such little stars were never made | A |
| I'm sure to shine thro' misty skies | B |
| - | |
| Say are they wrapt in so much shade | A |
| That they may more successful rise | B |
| Starting from such soft ambuscade | A |
| To catch and kill us by surprise | B |
| - | |
| Or of their various pow'rs afraid | A |
| Is it in mercy to our sighs | B |
| Lest love o'er many a heart betray'd | A |
| Should sob a faithful vot'ry dies | B |
| - | |
| Then oh remove the envious shade | A |
| Let others wear who want disguise | B |
| We all had sooner die sweet maid | A |
| To see than live without those eyes | B |
