| Lest all the nymph had sworn was true | E |
| I saw a smile relenting rise | M |
| Mid the moist azure of her eyes | M |
| Like daylight o'er a sea of blue | E |
| While yet in mid air hangs the dew | E |
| She let her cheek repose on mine | N |
| She let my arms around her twine | N |
| One kiss was half allowed and then | O |
| The ring and seal were hers again | O |
