| Singing I am the Sprite | A |
| Of the merry midnight | A |

| To a miser's bed where he snoring slept | C |

| I saw thro' the leaves in a damsel's bower | F |
| She was waiting her love at that starlight hour | F |
| Hist hist quoth I with an amorous sigh | G |

| While a bard sat inditing an ode to his love | H |
| Like a pair of blue meteors I stared from above | H |
| And he swooned for he thought 'twas the ghost poor man | I |
| Of his lady's eyes while away I ran | I |
| Singing I am the Sprite etc | E |
