| In mail of black my limbs I girt | B |
| Angelica | C |
| And when the bugles clanged the charge | D |
| The rolling battle's bristling marge | D |
| Beheld me a black storm of war | E |
| Dash on the foe | F |
| While Durindana glitt'ring far | G |
| Made many a foeman mouth the dirt | B |
| In bleeding woe | F |
| For thou didst fire me to the war | E |
| 'Mid many a Paynim scimetar | E |

| No more the battle fires my blood | H |
| Angelica | C |
| No more gay lists flaunt all their guiles | I |
| And chivalry's charge and beauty's smiles | I |
| I wander lone the thistly wold | J |
| When night snows fall | K |
| And crispy frosts the wild grass hold | J |
| Great knights go glimmering thro' the wood | L |
| The clarion's call | K |
| Wakes War upon his desert wold | J |
| I see the dawning breaking cold | J |

| When Southern winds sowed all the skies | M |
| Angelica | C |
| With bloom storms of the flowering May | N |
| When all the battle field was gay | N |
| With scented garb of sainted flowers | O |
| I found a stream | P |
| Cold as thy heart to paramours | O |
| Deep as the depth of thy blue eyes | O |
| And like a dream | P |
| I found a grotto 'mid the flowers | O |
| Cool 'mid the sunlight sprinkled bowers | O |

| My casque I dofft to scoop the fount | J |
| Angelica | C |
| With beaded pureness bubbling cool | Q |
| It clashed into the purling pool | Q |
| Thy name lay chiseled in the rock | R |
| And underneath | S |
| And then meseemed deep night did block | R |
| My steel chained heart in one huge mount | J |
| Foreshadowing death | T |
| Medoro deep in every rock | R |
| The Moorish name my soul did mock | R |

| No more wild war my veins ensteeps | O |
| Angelica | C |
| No more gay lists flaunt all their guiles | O |
| White wastes before me miles on miles | O |
| With one low ruby sunset bound | J |
| Thou fleest before | E |
| I follow on a far off sound | J |
| Of oceans gnawing at dark steeps | O |
| Swells to a roar | E |
| 'Mid foam thou smil'st I spurn the ground | J |
| I sink I swim waves hiss around | J |
| Oh could I sink 'neath the profound | J |
| And think of thee no more | E |
