| I saw the smiling bard of pleasure | B |
| The minstrel of the Teian measure | B |
| 'Twas in a vision of the night | C |
| He beamed upon my wondering sight | C |
| I heard his voice and warmly prest | D |
| The dear enthusiast to my breast | D |
| His tresses wore a silvery dye | E |
| But beauty sparkled in his eye | E |
| Sparkled in his eyes of fire | B |
| Through the mist of soft desire | B |
| His lip exhaled when'er he sighed | F |
| The fragrance of the racy tide | F |
| And as with weak and reeling feet | G |
| He came my cordial kiss to meet | G |
| An infant of the Cyprian band | H |
| Guided him on with tender hand | H |
| Quick from his glowing brows he drew | I |
| His braid of many a wanton hue | I |
| I took the wreath whose inmost twine | J |
| Breathed of him and blushed with wine | J |
| I hung it o'er my thoughtless brow | K |
| And ah I feel its magic now | K |
| I feel that even his garland's touch | L |
| Can make the bosom love too much | L |
