| Ah wherefore droop thy blushing head | B |
| Tell me oh tell me hap'less flow'r | C |

| Come blushing ROSE and on my breast | J |
| Recline thy gentle head and die | H |

| There shall thy balmy sweets impart | G |
| An essence grateful to my heart | G |

| Thus SYMPATHY with lenient pow'r | C |

| Soft odours for life's happy hour | A |
| Kind healing balsam for its woe | K |
| If such thy virtues ROSE DIVINE | L |
| OH MAY THY ENVIED FATE BE MINE | L |
