| Vulcan hear your glorious task | B |
| I did not from your labors ask | B |
| In gorgeous panoply to shine | C |
| For war was ne'er a sport of mine | C |
| No let me have a silver bowl | D |
| Where I may cradle all my soul | D |
| But mind that o'er its simple frame | E |
| No mimic constellations flame | E |
| Nor grave upon the swelling side | F |
| Orion scowling o'er the tide | F |
| - | |
| I care not for the glittering wain | G |
| Nor yet the weeping sister train | G |
| But let the vine luxuriant roll | D |
| Its blushing tendrils round the bowl | D |
| While many a rose lipped bacchant maid | H |
| Is culling clusters in their shade | H |
| Let sylvan gods in antic shapes | I |
| Wildly press the gushing grapes | I |
| And flights of Loves in wanton play | J |
| Wing through the air their winding way | J |
| While Venus from her arbor green | K |
| Looks laughing at the joyous scene | K |
| And young Lyaeus by her side | F |
| Sits worthy of so bright a bride | F |
