Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCDEFEFAAABB| By a dismal cypress lying | A |
| Damon cried all pale and dying | A |
| Kind is death that ends my pain | B |
| But cruel she I lov'd in vain | B |
| The mossy fountains | C |
| Murmur my trouble | D |
| And hollow mountains | C |
| My groans redouble | D |
| Ev'ry nymph mourns me | E |
| Thus while I languish | F |
| She only scorns me | E |
| Who caus'd my anguish | F |
| No love returning me but all hope denying | A |
| By a dismal cypress lying | A |
| Like a swan so sung he dying | A |
| Kind is death that ends my pain | B |
| But cruel she I lov'd in vain | B |
