| Pleasure never is at home | A |
| At a touch sweet Pleasure melteth | B |
| Like to bubbles when rain pelteth | B |
| Then let wing egrave d Fancy wander | C |
| Through the thought still spread beyond her | C |
| Open wide the mind's cage door | D |
| She'll dart forth and cloudward soar | D |
| O sweet Fancy let her loose | E |
| Summer's joys are spoilt by use | E |
| And the enjoying of the Spring | F |
| Fades as does its blossoming | F |
| Autumn's red lipp'd fruitage too | G |
| Blushing through the mist and dew | G |
| Cloys with tasting What do then | H |
| Sit thee by the ingle when | H |
| The sear faggot blazes bright | I |
| Spirit of a winter's night | I |
| When the soundless earth is muffled | J |
| And the cak egrave d snow is shuffled | J |
| From the ploughboy's heavy shoon | H |
| When the Night doth meet the Noon | H |
| In a dark conspiracy | K |
| To banish Even from her sky | L |
| Sit thee there and send abroad | M |
| With a mind self overawed | M |
| Fancy high commission'd send her | C |
| She has vassals to attend her | C |
| She will bring in spite of frost | M |
| Beauties that the earth hath lost | M |
| She will bring thee all together | C |
| All delights of summer weather | C |
| All the buds and bells of May | N |
| From dewy sward or thorny spray | N |
| All the heap egrave d Autumn's wealth | B |
| With a still mysterious stealth | B |
| She will mix these pleasures up | O |
| Like three fit wines in a cup | O |
| And thou shalt quaff it thou shalt hear | P |
| Distant harvest carols clear | Q |
| Rustle of the reap egrave d corn | H |
| Sweet birds antheming the morn | H |
| And in the same moment hark | R |
| 'Tis the early April lark | R |
| Or the rooks with busy caw | S |
| Foraging for sticks and straw | S |
| Thou shalt at one glance behold | M |
| The daisy and the marigold | M |
| White plumed lilies and the first | M |
| Hedge grown primrose that hath burst | M |
| Shaded hyacinth alway | T |
| Sapphire queen of the mid May | N |
| And every leaf and every flower | C |
| Pearl egrave d with the self same shower | C |
| Thou shalt see the fieldmouse peep | U |
| Meagre from its cell egrave d sleep | U |
| And the snake all winter thin | H |
| Cast on sunny bank its skin | H |
| Freckled nest eggs thou shalt see | K |
| Hatching in the hawthorn tree | K |
| When the hen bird's wing doth rest | M |
| Quiet on her mossy nest | M |
| Then the hurry and alarm | V |
| When the beehive casts its swarm | W |
| Acorns ripe down pattering | S |
| While the autumn breezes sing | S |
| - | |
| O sweet Fancy let her loose | E |
| Every thing is spoilt by use | E |
| Where 's the cheek that doth not fade | M |
| Too much gazed at Where 's the maid | M |
| Whose lip mature is ever new | H |
| Where 's the eye however blue | H |
| Doth not weary Where 's the face | X |
| One would meet in every place | X |
| Where 's the voice however soft | M |
| One would hear so very oft | M |
| At a touch sweet Pleasure melteth | B |
| Like to bubbles when rain pelteth | B |
| Let then wing egrave d Fancy find | M |
| Thee a mistress to thy mind | M |
| Dulcet eyed as Ceres' daughter | C |
| Ere the God of Torment taught her | C |
| How to frown and how to chide | M |
| With a waist and with a side | M |
| White as Hebe's when her zone | H |
| Slipt its golden clasp and down | H |
| Fell her kirtle to her feet | M |
| While she held the goblet sweet | M |
| And Jove grew languid Break the mesh | Y |
| Of the Fancy's silken leash | Z |
| Quickly break her prison string | S |
| And such joys as these she'll bring | S |
| Let the wing egrave d Fancy roam | A |
| Pleasure never is at home | A |
