| For whom are now your airs put on | C |
| And what new beauty's doom'd to be undone | D |
| That careless elegance of dress | E |
| This essence that perfumes the wind | F |
| Your ev'ry motion does confess | E |
| Some secret conquest is design'd | F |
| Alas the poor unhappy maid | G |
| To what a train of ills betray'd | G |
| What fears what pangs shall rend her breast | H |
| How will her eyes dissolve in tears | I |
| That now with glowing joy is bless'd | H |
| Charm'd with the faithless vows she hears | J |
| So the young sailor on the summer sea | K |
| Gaily pursues his destin'd way | L |
| Fearless and careless on the deck he stands | M |
| Till sudden storms arise and thunders roll | N |
| In vain he casts his eyes to distant lands | M |
| Distracting terror tears his timorous soul | N |
| For me secure I view the raging main | O |
| Past are my dangers and forgot my pain | O |
| My votive tablet in the temple shows | P |
| The monument of folly past | Q |
| I paid the bounteous god my grateful vows | R |
| Who snatch'd from ruin sav'd me at the last | Q |
