Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFHIJ| Restore thy tresses to the golden ore | A |
| Yield Citherea's son those arcs of love | B |
| Bequeath the heav'ns the stars that I adore | A |
| And to th'Orient do thy pearls remove | C |
| Yield thy hands' pride unto th'ivory white | D |
| T'Arabian odors give thy breathing sweet | E |
| Restore thy blush unto Aurora bright | D |
| To Thetis give the honor of thy feet | E |
| Let Venus have thy graces her resign'd | F |
| And thy sweet voice give back unto the Spheres | G |
| But yet restore thy fierce and cruel mind | F |
| To Hyrcan tigers and to ruthless bears | H |
| Yield to the marble thy hard heart again | I |
| So shalt thou cease to plague and I to pain | J |
