Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHHII JJKKLLBBMMGGNN| I will I will the conflict's past | A |
| And I'll consent to love at last | A |
| Cupid has long with smiling art | B |
| Invited me to yield my heart | B |
| And I have thought that peace of mind | C |
| Should not be for a smile resigned | C |
| And so repelled the tender lure | D |
| And hoped my heart would sleep secure | D |
| - | |
| But slighted in his boasted charms | E |
| The angry infant flew to arms | E |
| He slung his quiver's golden frame | F |
| He took his bow his shafts of flame | F |
| And proudly summoned me to yield | G |
| Or meet him on the martial field | G |
| And what did I unthinking do | H |
| I took to arms undaunted too | H |
| Assumed the corslet shield and spear | I |
| And like Pelides smiled at fear | I |
| - | |
| Then hear it All ye powers above | J |
| I fought with Love I fought with Love | J |
| And now his arrows all were shed | K |
| And I had just in terror fled | K |
| When heaving an indignant sigh | L |
| To see me thus unwounded fly | L |
| And having now no other dart | B |
| He shot himself into my heart | B |
| My heart alas the luckless day | M |
| Received the God and died away | M |
| Farewell farewell my faithless shield | G |
| Thy lord at length is forced to yield | G |
| Vain vain is every outward care | N |
| The foe's within and triumphs there | N |
