Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGEHHE IJIJKFKFGELLE MLMLNLNLGEOOE| Lesbia hath a beaming eye | A |
| But no one knows for whom it beameth | B |
| Right and left its arrows fly | A |
| But what they aim at no one dreameth | B |
| Sweeter 'tis to gaze upon | C |
| My Nora's lid that seldom rises | D |
| Few its looks but every one | E |
| Like unexpected light surprises | F |
| Oh my Nora Creina dear | G |
| My gentle bashful Nora Creina | E |
| Beauty lies | H |
| In many eyes | H |
| But Love in yours my Nora Creina | E |
| - | |
| Lesbia wears a robe of gold | I |
| But all so close the nymph hath laced it | J |
| Not a charm of beauty's mould | I |
| Presumes to stay where Nature placed it | J |
| Oh my Nora's gown for me | K |
| That floats as wild as mountain breezes | F |
| Leaving every beauty free | K |
| To sink or swell as Heaven pleases | F |
| Yes my Nora Creina dear | G |
| My simple graceful Nora Creina | E |
| Nature's dress | L |
| Is loveliness | L |
| The dress you wear my Nora Creina | E |
| - | |
| Lesbia hath a wit refined | M |
| But when its points are gleaning round us | L |
| Who can tell if they're design'd | M |
| To dazzle merely or to wound us | L |
| Pillow'd on my Nora's heart | N |
| In safer slumber Love reposes | L |
| Bed of peace whose roughest part | N |
| Is but the crumpling of the roses | L |
| Oh my Nora Creina dear | G |
| My mild my artless Nora Creina | E |
| Wit though bright | O |
| Hath no such light | O |
| As warms your eyes my Nora Creina | E |
