| Tell me gentle youth I pray thee | B |
| What in purchase shall I pay thee | B |
| For this little waxen toy | C |

| Thus I said the other day | D |
| To a youth who past my way | D |
| Sir he answered and the while | E |
| Answered all in Doric style | E |
| Take it for a trifle take it | F |
| 'Twas not I who dared to make it | F |
| No believe me 'twas not I | G |
| Oh it has cost me many a sigh | G |
| And I can no longer keep | H |
| Little Gods who murder sleep | H |
| Here then here I said with joy | C |
| Here is silver for the boy | C |
| He shall be my bosom guest | I |
| Idol of my pious breast | I |

| Now young Love I have thee mine | J |
| Warm me with that torch of thine | J |
| Make me feel as I have felt | K |
| Or thy waxen frame shall melt | K |
| I must burn with warm desire | L |
| Or thou my boy in yonder fire | L |
