Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHIHI| If wine and music have the power | A |
| To ease the sickness of the soul | B |
| Let Phoebis every string explore | C |
| And Bacchus fill the sprightly bowl | B |
| Let them their friendly aid employ | D |
| To make my Cloe's absense light | E |
| And seek for pleasure to destroy | D |
| The sorrows of this live long night | E |
| - | |
| But she to morrow will return | F |
| Venus be thou to morrow great | G |
| Thy myrtles strow thy odours burn | F |
| And meet thy favourite nymph in state | G |
| Kind goddess to no other powers | H |
| Let us to morrow's blessings own | I |
| Thy darling Loves shall guide the hours | H |
| And all the day be thine alone | I |
