| When others saw thee gay and vain | B |
| And saw my weakness too | C |
| A willing captive in thy chain | B |
| Nor doubt nor care I knew | C |
| When others saw thy faults too well | D |
| And bade my heart beware | E |
| I linger'd in thy beauty's spell | D |
| And found no danger there | E |

| Even when I saw how false and cold | F |
| Thou couldst to others be | G |
| My trusting heart would not be told | F |
| Thou wert untrue to me | G |
| Like one whom lovely fruits allure | H |
| To death and misery | G |
| I find my fate admits no cure | H |
| And know the truth to die | I |
