Rhyme Scheme: AABBCA DDEFGD| HAD I a cave on some wild distant shore | A |
| Where the winds howl to the wave's dashing roar | A |

| Till grief my eyes should close | C |
| Ne'er to wake more | A |

| All thy fond plighted vows fleeting as air | D |
| To thy new lover hie | E |
| Laugh o'er thy perjury | F |
| Then in thy bosom try | G |
| What peace is there | D |
