| Sharp winter now dissolv'd the linnet sing | B |
| The grateful breath of pleasing Zephyrs bring | B |
| The welcome joys of long desired spring | B |
| The galleys now for open sea prepare | C |
| The herds forsake their stalls for balmy air | C |
| The fields adorn'd with green th'approaching sun declare | C |
| In shining nights the charming Venus leads | A |
| Her troop of Graces and her lovely maids | A |
| Who gaily trip the ground in myrtle shades | A |
| The blazing forge her husband Vulcan heats | A |
| And thunderlike the labouring hammer beats | A |
| While toiling Cyclops every stroke repeats | A |
| Of myrtle new the cheerful wreath compose | A |
| Of various flowers which opening spring bestows | A |
| Till coming June presents the blushing rose | A |
| Pay your vow'd offering to God Faunus' bower | D |
| Then happy Sestius seize the present hour | D |
| 'Tis all that nature leaves to mortal power | D |
| The equal hand of strong impartial Fate | E |
| Levels the peasant and th'imperious great | E |
| Nor will that doom on human projects wait | E |
| To the dark mansions of the senseless dead | F |
| With daily steps our destin'd path we tread | F |
| Realms still unknown of which so much is said | F |
| Ended your schemes of pleasure and of pride | G |
| In joyous feasts no one will there preside | G |
| Torn from your Lycidas' beloved side | G |
| Whose tender youth does now our eyes engage | H |
| And soon will give in his maturer age | H |
| Sighs to our virgins to our matrons rage | H |
