Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF| And do I then wonder that Julia deceives me | A |
| When surely there's nothing in nature more common | B |

| Oh woman your heart is a pitiful treasure | C |
| And Mahomet's doctrine was not too severe | D |
| When he held that you were but materials of pleasure | C |
| And reason and thinking were out of your sphere | D |

| By your heart when the fond sighing lover can win it | E |
| He thinks that an age of anxiety's paid | F |
| But oh while he's blest let him die at the minute | G |
| If he live but a day he'll be surely betrayed | F |
