| No Lady Lady keep the ring | B |
| Oh think how many a future year | C |
| Of placid smile and downy wing | B |
| May sleep within its holy sphere | C |
| - | |
| Do not disturb their tranquil dream | D |
| Though love hath ne'er the mystery warmed | E |
| Yet heaven will shed a soothing beam | D |
| To bless the bond itself hath formed | E |
| - | |
| But then that eye that burning eye | F |
| Oh it doth ask with witching power | G |
| If heaven can ever bless the tie | F |
| Where love inwreaths no genial flower | G |
| - | |
| Away away bewildering look | H |
| Or all the boast of virtue's o'er | G |
| Go hie thee to the sage's book | H |
| And learn from him to feel no more | I |
| - | |
| I cannot warn thee every touch | J |
| That brings my pulses close to thine | K |
| Tells me I want thy aid as much | J |
| Even more alas than thou dost mine | K |
| - | |
| Yet stay one hope one effort yet | L |
| A moment turn those eyes a way | M |
| And let me if I can forget | L |
| The light that leads my soul astray | M |
| - | |
| Thou sayest that we were born to meet | N |
| That our hearts bear one common seal | O |
| Think Lady think how man's deceit | N |
| Can seem to sigh and feign to feel | O |
| - | |
| When o'er thy face some gleam of thought | P |
| Like daybeams through the morning air | Q |
| Hath gradual stole and I have caught | R |
| The feeling ere it kindled there | Q |
| - | |
| The sympathy I then betrayed | S |
| Perhaps was but the child of art | T |
| The guile of one who long hath played | S |
| With all these wily nets of heart | T |
| - | |
| Oh thine is not my earliest vow | U |
| Though few the years I yet have told | V |
| Canst thou believe I've lived till now | U |
| With loveless heart or senses cold | V |
| - | |
| No other nymphs to joy and pain | W |
| This wild and wandering heart hath moved | X |
| With some it sported wild and vain | W |
| While some it dearly truly loved | Y |
| - | |
| The cheek to thine I fondly lay | M |
| To theirs hath been as fondly laid | S |
| The words to thee I warmly say | M |
| To them have been as warmly said | Z |
| - | |
| Then scorn at once a worthless heart | T |
| Worthless alike or fixt or free | A2 |
| Think of the pure bright soul thou art | T |
| And love not me oh love not me | A2 |
| - | |
| Enough now turn thine eyes again | B2 |
| What still that look and still that sigh | F |
| Dost thou not feel my counsel then | B2 |
| Oh no beloved nor do I | F |
