| Buds of roses virgin flowers | B |
| Culled from Cupid's balmy bowers | B |
| In the bowl of Bacchus steep | C |
| Till with crimson drops they weep | C |
| Twine the rose the garland twine | D |
| Every leaf distilling wine | D |
| Drink and smile and learn to think | E |
| That we were born to smile and drink | E |
| Rose thou art the sweetest flower | F |
| That ever drank the amber shower | F |
| Rose thou art the fondest child | G |
| Of dimpled Spring the wood nymph wild | G |
| Even the Gods who walk the sky | H |
| Are amorous of thy scented sigh | H |
| Cupid too in Paphian shades | I |
| His hair with rosy fillets braids | I |
| When with the blushing sister Graces | J |
| The wanton winding dance he traces | K |
| Then bring me showers of roses bring | L |
| And shed them o'er me while I sing | L |
| Or while great Bacchus round thy shrine | D |
| Wreathing my brow with rose and vine | D |
| I lead some bright nymph through the dance | M |
| Commingling soul with every glance | M |
