| But little of love he knew | B |
| Her lucent eyes were like amber wine | C |
| And her eyelids stained with blue | B |
| - | |
| He called them the Gates of Fair Desire | A |
| And the Lakes where Beauty lay | D |
| But I looked into them once and saw | E |
| The eyes of Beasts of Prey | D |
| - | |
| He praised her teeth that were small and white | F |
| As lilies upon his lawn | G |

| That met in a speckled fawn | G |
| - | |
| She had her way a lover the more | I |
| And I had a friend the less | J |
| For long there was nothing to do but wait | K |
| And suffer his happiness | L |

| But now I shall choose the sharpest Kriss | M |
| And nestle it in her breast | N |
| For dead he is drifting down to sea | O |
| And his own hand wrought his rest | N |
