| A ho A ho | B |
| Love's horn doth blow | B |
| And he will out a hawking go | B |
| His shafts are light as beauty's sighs | C |
| And bright as midnight's brightest eyes | C |
| And round his starry way | D |
| The swan winged horses of the skies | C |
| With summer's music in their manes | E |
| Curve their fair necks to zephyr's reins | E |
| And urge their graceful play | D |

| A ho A ho | B |
| Love's horn doth blow | B |
| And he will out a hawking go | B |
| The sparrows flutter round his wrist | F |
| The feathery thieves that Venus kissed | F |
| And taught their morning song | G |
| The linnets seek the airy list | F |
| And swallows too small pets of Spring | H |
| Beat back the gale with swifter wing | H |
| And dart and wheel along | G |
| - | |
| A ho A ho | B |
| Love's horn doth blow | B |
| And he will out a hawking go | B |
| Now woe to every gnat that skips | I |
| To filch the fruit of ladies' lips | I |
| His felon blood is shed | J |
| And woe to flies whose airy ships | I |
| On beauty cast their anchoring bite | K |
| And bandit wasp that naughty wight | K |
| Whose sting is slaughter red | J |
