| In death already lying | B |
| With all his locks dishevelled | C |
| And cheeks turned wan and ghastly | D |
| She bade the Loves attendant | C |
| To bring the boar before her | E |
| - | |
| And lo the winged ones fleetly | D |
| They scoured through all the wild wood | C |
| The wretched boar they tracked him | F |
| And bound and doubly bound him | F |
| One fixed on him a halter | E |
| And dragged him on a captive | G |
| Another drave him onward | C |
| And smote him with his arrows | H |
| But terror struck the beast came | I |
| For much he feared Cythere | E |
| To him spake Aphrodite | D |
| 'Of wild beasts all the vilest | D |
| This thigh by thee was 't wounded | D |
| Was 't thou that smote my lover ' | - |
| To her the beast made answer | E |
| 'I swear to thee Cythere | E |
| By thee and by thy lover | E |
| Yea and by these my fetters | J |
| And them that do pursue me | D |
| Thy lord thy lovely lover | E |
| I never willed to wound him | F |
| I saw him like a statue | D |
| And could not bide the burning | B |
| Nay for his thigh was naked | D |
| And mad was I to kiss it | D |
| And thus my tusk it harmed him | F |
| Take these my tusks O Cypris | K |
| And break them and chastise them | L |
| For wherefore should I wear them | L |
| These passionate defences | K |
| If this doth not suffice thee | D |
| Then cut my lips out also | K |
| Why dared they try to kiss him ' | - |
| - | |
| Then Cypris had compassion | M |
| She bade the Loves attendant | D |
| To loose the bonds that bound him | F |
| From that day her he follows | K |
| And flees not to the wild wood | D |
| But joins the Loves and always | K |
| He bears Love's flame unflinching | B |
