Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EFGGHHIJKKLLMMNO| 'Twas night and many a circling bowl | A |
| Had deeply warmed my thirsty soul | A |
| As lulled in slumber I was laid | B |
| Bright visions o'er my fancy played | B |
| With maidens blooming as the dawn | C |
| I seemed to skim the opening lawn | C |
| Light on tiptoe bathed in dew | D |
| We flew and sported as we flew | D |
| - | |
| Some ruddy striplings who lookt on | E |
| With cheeks that like the wine god's shone | F |
| Saw me chasing free and wild | G |
| These blooming maids and slyly smiled | G |
| Smiled indeed with wanton glee | H |
| Though none could doubt they envied me | H |
| And still I flew and now had caught | I |
| The panting nymphs and fondly thought | J |
| To gather from each rosy lip | K |
| A kiss that Jove himself might sip | K |
| When sudden all my dream of joys | L |
| Blushing nymphs and laughing boys | L |
| All were gone Alas I said | M |
| Sighing for the illusion fled | M |
| Again sweet sleep that scene restore | N |
| Oh let me dream it o'er and o'er | O |
