| And held his glory far above | A |
| All other earthly things I cried | B |
| Come Love dear Love with me abide | B |
| And with my subtlest art I wooed | C |

| And prayed that I would give him place | G |
| But though his eyes with tears were dim | H |
| I turned my back and laughed at him | H |
