| Bear this sigh and if thou find | A |
| Where my cruel fair doth rest | B |
| Cast it in her snowy breast | B |
| So enflam'd by my desire | C |
| It may set her heart a fire | C |
| Those sweet kisses thou shalt gain | D |
| Will reward thee for thy pain | D |
| Boldly light upon her lip | E |
| There suck odours and thence skip | E |
| To her bosom lastly fall | F |
| Down and wander over all | F |
| Range about those ivory hills | G |
| From whose every part distills | G |
| Amber dew there spices grow | H |
| There pure streams of nectar flow | H |
| There perfume thyself and bring | I |
| All those sweets upon thy wing | I |
| As thou return'st change by thy power | C |
| Every weed into a flower | C |
| Turn each thistle to a vine | J |
| Make the bramble eglantine | J |
| For so rich a booty made | K |
| Do but this and I am paid | K |
| Thou canst with thy powerful blast | L |
| Heat apace and cool as fast | L |
| Thou canst kindle hidden flame | M |
| And again destroy the same | M |
| Then for pity either stir | C |
| Up the fire of love in her | C |
| That alike both flames may shine | J |
| Or else quite extinguish mine | J |
