| To the centre of your love | B |
| On your niceness though we wait | C |
| Yet the hours say 'tis late | C |
| Coyness takes us to a measure | D |
| But o'eracted deads the pleasure | D |
| Go to bed and care not when | E |
| Cheerful day shall spring again | E |
| One brave captain did command | F |
| By his word the sun to stand | F |
| One short charm if you but say | G |
| Will enforce the moon to stay | G |
| Till you warn her hence away | G |
| T' have your blushes seen by day | G |
