Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHH| Already blushes in thy cheek | A |
| The bosom thought which thou must speak | A |
| The bird how far it haply roam | B |
| By cloud or isle is flying home | B |
| The maiden fears and fearing runs | C |
| Into the charmed snare she shuns | C |
| And every man in love or pride | D |
| Of his fate is never wide | D |

| Will a woman's fan the ocean smooth | E |
| Or prayers the stony Parcae sooth | E |
| Or coax the thunder from its mark | F |
| Or tapers light the chaos dark | F |
| In spite of Virtue and the Muse | G |
| Nemesis will have her dues | G |
| And all our struggles and our toils | H |
| Tighter wind the giant coils | H |
