| 'Twas in a mocking dream of night | B |
| I fancied I had wings as light | B |
| As a young birds and flew as fleet | C |
| While Love around whose beauteous feet | C |
| I knew not why hung chains of lead | D |
| Pursued me as I trembling fled | D |
| And strange to say as swift as thought | E |
| Spite of my pinions I was caught | F |
| What does the wanton Fancy mean | G |
| By such a strange illusive scene | G |
| I fear she whispers to my breast | H |
| That you sweet maid have stolen its rest | H |
| That though my fancy for a while | I |
| Hath hung on many a woman's smile | I |
| I soon dissolved each passing vow | J |
| And ne'er was caught by love till now | J |
