| Venus avers the astronomer | F |
| Not thus idly dancing goes | G |
| Flushing the eternal orchard with wild rose | G |
| She through ether burns | H |
| Outpacing planetary earth | I |
| And ere two years triumphantly returns | H |
| And again wave like swelling flows | G |
| And again her flashing apparition comes and goes | G |

| She shakes the clustered stars | L |
| Lightly as she goes | L |
| Amid the unseen branches of the night | B |
| Rose limb'd rose bosom'd bright | B |
| She leaps they shake and pale she glows | L |
| And who but knows | L |
| How the rejoiced heart aches | L |
| When Venus all his starry vision shakes | L |
| - | |
| When through his mind | N |
| Tossing with random airs of an unearthly wind | N |
| Rose bosom'd rose limb'd | A |
| The mistress of his starry vision arises | L |
| And the boughs glittering sway | O |
| And the stars pale away | O |
| And the enlarging heaven glows | L |
| As Venus light foot mid the twin d branches goes | L |
