| Yes if 'twere any common love | D |
| That led my pliant heart astray | B |
| I grant there's not a power above | D |
| Could wipe the faithless crime away | B |
| - | |
| But 'twas my doom to err with one | E |
| In every look so like to thee | F |
| That underneath yon blessed sun | E |
| So fair there are but thou and she | F |
| - | |
| Both born of beauty at a birth | G |
| She held with thine a kindred sway | B |
| And wore the only shape on earth | G |
| That could have lured my soul to stray | B |
| - | |
| Then blame me not if false I be | F |
| 'Twas love that waked the fond excess | H |
| My heart had been more true to thee | F |
| Had mine eye prized thy beauty less | H |
