Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGDEDE| Oh no not even when first we loved | A |
| Wert thou as dear as now thou art | B |
| Thy beauty then my senses moved | C |
| But now thy virtues bind my heart | B |
| What was but Passion's sigh before | D |
| Has since been turned to Reason's vow | E |
| And though I then might love thee more | D |
| Trust me I love thee better now | E |
| - | |
| Altho' my heart in earlier youth | F |
| Might kindle with more wild desire | G |
| Believe me it has gained in truth | F |
| Much more than it has lost in fire | G |
| The flame now warms my inmost core | D |
| That then but sparkled o'er my brow | E |
| And though I seemed to love thee more | D |
| Yet oh I love thee better now | E |
