| I've been oh sweet daughter | B |
| To fountain and sea | C |
| To seek in their water | B |
| Some bright gem for thee | C |
| Where diamonds were sleeping | D |
| Their sparkle I sought | E |
| Where crystal was weeping | D |
| Its tears I have caught | F |
| - | |
| The sea nymph I've courted | G |
| In rich coral halls | H |
| With Naiads have sported | G |
| By bright waterfalls | H |
| But sportive or tender | B |
| Still sought I around | I |
| That gem with whose splendor | B |
| Thou yet shalt be crowned | I |
| - | |
| And see while I'm speaking | D |
| Yon soft light afar | J |
| The pearl I've been seeking | D |
| There floats like a star | J |
| In the deep Indian Ocean | K |
| I see the gem shine | L |
| And quick as light's motion | K |
| Its wealth shall be thine | L |
| - | |
| Then eastward like lightning | D |
| The hero god flew | M |
| His sunny looks brightening | D |
| The air he went thro' | J |
| And sweet was the duty | C |
| And hallowed the hour | J |
| Which saw thus young Beauty | C |
| Embellished by Power | J |
