| Of all my happiest hours of joy | B |
| And even I have had my measure | C |
| When hearts were full and every eye | D |
| Hath kindled with the light of pleasure | C |
| An hour like this I ne'er was given | E |
| So full of friendship's purest blisses | F |
| Young Love himself looks down from heaven | E |
| To smile on such a day as this is | F |
| Then come my friends this hour improve | G |
| Let's feel as if we ne'er could sever | C |
| And may the birth of her we love | H |
| Be thus with joy remembered ever | C |
| - | |
| Oh banish every thought to night | I |
| Which could disturb our soul's communion | E |
| Abandoned thus to dear delight | I |
| We'll even for once forget the Union | E |
| On that let statesmen try their powers | F |
| And tremble o'er the rights they'd die for | J |
| The union of the soul be ours | F |
| And every union else we sigh for | J |
| Then come my friends etc | K |

| In every eye around I mark | L |
| The feelings of the heart o'er flowing | M |
| From every soul I catch the spark | L |
| Of sympathy in friendship glowing | M |
| Oh could such moments ever fly | D |
| Oh that we ne'er were doomed to lose 'em | N |
| And all as bright as Charlotte's eye | D |
| And all as pure as Charlotte's bosom | N |
| Then come my friends etc | K |
| - | |
| For me whate'er my span of years | F |
| Whatever sun may light my roving | M |
| Whether I waste my life in tears | F |
| Or live as now for mirth and loving | M |
| This day shall come with aspect kind | O |
| Wherever fate may cast your rover | C |
| He'll think of those he left behind | O |
| And drink a health to bliss that's over | C |
| Then come my friends etc | K |
