Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEEDFGFG HIHIJJKLLKFGFG| Nay tell me not dear that the goblet drowns | A |
| One charm of feeling one fond regret | B |
| Believe me a few of thy angry frowns | A |
| Are all I've sunk in its bright wave yet | B |
| Ne'er hath a beam | C |
| Been lost in the stream | C |
| That ever was shed from thy form or soul | D |
| The spell of those eyes | E |
| The balm of thy sighs | E |
| Still float on the surface and hallow by bowl | D |
| Then fancy not dearest that wine can steal | F |
| One blissful dream of the heart from me | G |
| Like founts that awaken the pilgrim's zeal | F |
| The bowl but brightens my love for thee | G |
| - | |
| They tell us the Love in his fairy bower | H |
| Had two blush roses of birth divine | I |
| He sprinkled the one with a rainbow's shower | H |
| But bathed the other with mantling wine | I |
| Soon did the buds | J |
| That drunk of the floods | J |
| Distill'd by the rainbow decline and fade | K |
| While those which the tide | L |
| Of ruby had dyed | L |
| All blush'd into beauty like thee sweet maid | K |
| Then fancy not dearest that wine can steal | F |
| One blissful dream of the heart from me | G |
| Like founts that awaken the pilgrim's zeal | F |
| The bowl but brightens my love for thee | G |
