| I'm as loyal a subject as Britain can boast | B |
| Our Queen she is gracious and gentle and wise | C |
| But another this moment demandeth my toast | B |
| 'Tis Annie the lass with the two hazel eyes | C |
| - | |
| The hair of my idol's a stream of delight | D |
| The lustre thereof with the aerolite vies | C |
| Her dimpled cheeks apples the pure red and white | D |
| But these are outshone by her two hazel eyes | C |
| - | |
| Her breasts are two hillocks of new driven snow | E |
| Between them a dell of enchantment lies | C |
| Where love lurks the elf with his death darts but no | E |
| These cannot be named with her two hazel eyes | C |
| - | |
| The golden eyed lily but faintly displays | F |
| The grace of her form her demeanour and guise | C |
| A jewel is she in heart language and ways | F |
| But nothing can equal her two hazel eyes | C |
| - | |
| I'm as loyal a subject as Britain can boast | B |
| Victoria's gentle gracious and wise | C |
| But another this moment demanded my toast | B |
| I drink to the lass with the two hazel eyes | C |
