To be led astray by the trick of a tress | B |
By a smiling face or a ribbon smart | A |
And my heart was in sore distress | B |

Then Phyllis came by and her face was fair | C |
The light gleamed soft on her raven hair | C |

Then my heart spoke out with a right bold air | C |
Thou art worse than a fool O head | D |
