| Yes you contemn the perjur'd maid | B |
| Who all your favorite hopes betray'd | B |
| Nor though her heart should home return | C |
| Her tuneful tongue it's falsehood mourn | D |
| Her winning eyes your faith implore | E |
| Would you her hand receive again | F |
| Or once dissemble your disdain | G |
| Or listen to the syren's theme | H |

| When summoning your pride you try | A |
| To meet her looks with cool neglect | I |
| Or cross her walk with slight respect | I |
| For so is falsehood best repaid | B |
| Whence do your cheeks indignant glow | J |
| Why is your struggling tongue so slow | J |
| What means that darkness on your brow | K |
| As if with all her broken vow | K |
| You meant the fair apostate to upbraid | B |
