| Pipe at this Inn to night | B |
| Music and candleshine | A |

| 'Fans toss and ladies pace | D |
| Flutes of cold metal blow | E |
| Maidens like winds of lace | D |
| Tease the dark passages | F |

| Pasties in pyramids | H |
| Rise while your masters poise | G |

| Jars wink and bottles drip | J |
| Staining with smoke and spume | I |
| Lips tables tapestries | K |
| 'Wenches with tousled silk | L |
| Mouths warm and bubble eyes | M |
| Tumble those beds of milk | L |
| Under carved canopies | M |
| 'Now let your lovers dive | N |
| Deep to that hurricane | A |
| O to be there alive | N |
| Breathing again ' | O |
| So the ghost cried and pressed to the dark pane | A |
| Like a white leaf his face in vain in vain | A |
