| But thy unfashionable sound | D |
| In crowds was never heard | E |

| The sanctuary is not safe to thee | G |
| Chas'd thence by endless mystery | G |

| And wage eternal war with thee and sense | H |

| E'en when they would be thought to show the most | J |
| Most beautiful when most distress'd | K |
| Descend O Goddess to my breast | K |
| There thou may'st reign unrivall'd and alone | L |
| My thoughts thy subject and my heart thy throne | L |
