| Too much good luck no less than misery | B |
| May kill a man condemned to mortal pain | C |
| If lost to hope and chilled in every vein | C |
| A sudden pardon comes to set him free | B |
| Thus thy unwonted kindness shown to me | B |
| Amid the gloom where only sad thoughts reign | C |
| With too much rapture bringing light again | D |
| Threatens my life more than that agony | B |
| Good news and bad may bear the self same knife | E |
| And death may follow both upon their flight | F |
| For hearts that shrink or swell alike will break | G |
| Let then thy beauty to preserve my life | E |
| Temper the source of this supreme delight | F |
| Lest joy so poignant slay a soul so weak | H |
