Rhyme Scheme: AABBACCDDC EFGGECCHHC AABBAIIJJI| The time I've lost in wooing | A |
| In watching and pursuing | A |
| The light that lies | B |
| In woman's eyes | B |
| Has been my heart's undoing | A |
| Tho' Wisdom oft has sought me | C |
| I scorned the lore she brought me | C |
| My only books | D |
| Were woman's looks | D |
| And folly's all they've taught me | C |
| - | |
| Her smile when Beauty granted | E |
| I hung with gaze enchanted | F |
| Like him the Sprite | G |
| Whom maids by night | G |
| Oft meet in glen that's haunted | E |
| Like him too Beauty won me | C |
| But while her eyes were on me | C |
| If once their ray | H |
| Was turned away | H |
| O winds could not outrun me | C |
| - | |
| And are those follies going | A |
| And is my proud heart growing | A |
| Too cold or wise | B |
| For brilliant eyes | B |
| Again to set it glowing | A |
| No vain alas the endeavor | I |
| From bonds so sweet to sever | I |
| Poor Wisdom's chance | J |
| Against a glance | J |
| Is now as weak as ever | I |
