| Cupid once upon a bed | B |
| Of roses laid his weary head | B |
| Luckless urchin not to see | C |
| Within the leaves a slumbering bee | C |
| The bee awaked with anger wild | D |
| The bee awaked and stung the child | D |
| Loud and piteous are his cries | E |
| To Venus quick he runs he flies | E |
| Oh mother I am wounded through | F |
| I die with pain in sooth I do | F |
| Stung by some little angry thing | G |
| Some serpent on a tiny wing | G |
| A bee it was for once I know | H |
| I heard a rustic call it so | H |
| Thus he spoke and she the while | I |
| Heard him with a soothing smile | I |
| Then said My infant if so much | J |
| Thou feel the little wild bee's touch | J |
| How must the heart ah Cupid be | C |
| The hapless heart that's stung by thee | C |
