| That I poor I | I |
| May think thereby | I |
| I live and die | I |
| 'Mongst roses | B |
| - | |
| Fall on me like the silent dew | J |
| Or like those maiden showers | B |
| Which by the peep of day do strew | J |
| A baptim o'er the flowers | B |
| Melt melt my pains | B |
| With thy soft strains | B |
| That having ease me given | K |
| With full delight | L |
| I leave this light | L |
| And take my flight | L |
| For Heaven | K |
