| Tho' with the wild flow'r simply crown'd | B |
| Than the vast dome or beauteous bust | A |
| By genius form'd by wit renown'd | B |
| - | |
| Wave thou wild flow'r for ever wave | C |
| O'er my lov'd relic of delight | D |
| My tears shall bathe her green rob'd grave | C |
| More than the dews of heav'n by night | D |
| - | |
| Methinks my Delia bids me go | E |
| Says Florio dry that fruitless tear | F |
| Feed not a wild flow'r with thy woe | E |
| Thy long lov'd Delia is not here | G |
| - | |
| No drop of feeling from her eye | H |
| Now starts to hear thy sorrows speak | I |
| And did thy bosom know one joy | J |
| No smile would bloom upon her cheek | I |
| - | |
| Pale wan and torpid droops that cheek | I |
| Whereon thy lip impress'd its red | K |
| Those eyes which Florio taught to speak | I |
| Unnotic'd close amid the dead | K |
| - | |
| True true too idly mourns this heart | L |
| Why Mem'ry dost thou paint the past | M |
| Why say you saw my Delia part | L |
| Still press'd still lov'd her to the last | M |
| - | |
| Then thou wild flow'r for ever wave | C |
| To thee this parting tear is given | N |
| The sigh I offer at her grave | C |
| Shall reach my sainted love in heaven | N |
