Rhyme Scheme: AABACBDBEFAFGHIJEKLM IANAOAPA| Haste my Nannette | A |
| My lovely maid | A |
| Haste to the bower | B |
| Thy swain has made | A |
| For thee alone | C |
| I made the bower | B |
| And strew'd the couch | D |
| With many a flower | B |
| None but my sheep | E |
| Shall near us come | F |
| Venus be praised | A |
| My sheep are dumb | F |
| Great god of love | G |

| From Nannette's flock | J |
| Guard thou the sheep | E |
| To her so dear | K |
| My own alas | L |
| Are less my care | M |
| But of the wolf | I |
| If thou'rt afraid | A |
| Come not to us | N |
| To call for aid | A |
| For with her swain | O |
| My love shall stay | A |
| Though the wolf stroll | P |
| And the sheep stray | A |
