| On love's battlefields I have contended more for thee | B |

| Mademoiselle Josephine you are truly my world's wonder | A |
| What precious gem or treasure can I to thee render | A |

| and what tender words of mine could I on thine heart inscribe | D |
| A thousand princes may indeed contend for thine heart | E |
| each of them loves truck with your magical Cupid's dart | E |
| A thousand more princes may contend for thy dowry | B |
| but relentless I'll be to see their love plans go awry | F |
