I	A
Oh fly 'tis dire Suspicion's mien	B
And meditating plagues unseen	B
The sorceress hither bends	C
Behold her torch in gall imbrued	D
Behold her garment drops with blood	D
Of lovers and of friends	C
	-
II	A
Fly far Already in your eyes	E
I see a pale suffusion rise	E
And soon through every vein	F
Soon will her secret venom spread	D
And all your heart and all your head	D
Imbibe the potent stain	F
	-
III	A
Then many a demon will she raise	G
To vex your sleep to haunt your ways	G
While gleams of lost delight	D
Raise the dark tempest of the brain	F
As lightning shines across the main	F
Through whirlwinds and through night	D
	-
IV	H
No more can faith or candor move	H
But each ingenuous deed of love	H
Which reason would applaud	D
Now smiling o'er her dark distress	I
Fancy malignant strives to dress	I
Like injury and fraud	D
	-
V	H
Farewell to virtue's peaceful times	J
Soon will you stoop to act the crimes	J
Which thus you stoop to fear	K
Guilt follows guilt and where the train	F
Begins with wrongs of such a stain	F
What horrors form the rear	K
	-
VI	H
'Tis thus to work her baleful power	L
Suspicion waits the sullen hour	L
Of fretfulness and strife	H
When care the infirmer bosom wrings	J
Or Eurus waves his murky wings	J
To damp the seats of life	H
	-
VII	H
But come forsake the scene unbless'd	D
Which first beheld your faithful breast	D
To groundless fears a prey	M
Come where with my prevailing lyre	N
The skies the streams the groves conspire	L
To charm your doubts away	M
	-
VIII	H
Thron'd in the sun's descending car	O
What power unseen diffuseth far	O
This tenderness of mind	D
What genius smiles on yonder flood	D
What god in whispers from the wood	D
Bids every thought be kind	D
	-
IX	J
O thou whate'er thy awful name	P
Whose wisdom our untoward frame	P
With social love restrains	J
Thou who by fair affection's ties	J
Giv'st us to double all our joys	J
And half disarm our pains	J
	-
X	J
Let universal candor still	Q
Clear as yon heaven reflecting rill	Q
Preserve my open mind	D
Nor this nor that man's crooked ways	J
One sordid doubt within me raise	J
To injure human kind	D
