| When wrapt in self the soul enjoys repose | D |
| The wearied brain resigns its fervent heat | E |
| In dream like musing every care we lose | F |

| Oft to indulge the thought exploded sig | G |

| Ah no possessing every social bliss | O |
| I cannot will not at my fate repine | P |
| Or ask for happiness excelling this | O |

| And when the melancholy grove I seek | Q |
| Scarce can my palpitating heart controul | M |
| While silent tears are trembling on my cheek | Q |
| The flood of pleasure swelling in my soul | M |

| But soon my too elated thoughts are calm | R |
| The tumults of the mental chaos cease | S |
| A soft oblivion the rais'd senses charm | T |
| And lull to a reflecting soothing peace | S |

| Hail sweet enhancements of the languid mind | U |
| Whose calm reposes restless worldlings scorn | P |
| But from whose aid recruited strength we find | U |
| And waken lively as the bird of morn | P |
| - | |
| And thou lov'd boy in whose congenial breast | V |
| I doubt not but those sentiments reside | W |
| For we our thoughts our actions have confest | W |
| As much in hearts as persons are allied | W |
| - | |
| Hail thou my brother may thy steps be led | W |
| By heav'nly wisdom through this world of care | X |
| And gain the realms for which our Saviour bled | W |
| Nor pain nor lassitude await us there | X |
