| Night is waning fast away | A |
| Thrice have I my lamp renewed | B |
| Watching here in solitude | B |
| Where can she so long delay | A |
| Where so long delay | A |
| - | |
| Vainly now have two lamps shone | C |

| Gods how oft the traitress dear | F |
| Swore by Venus she'd be here | G |
| But to one so false as she | H |
| What is man or deity | H |
| Neither doth this proud one fear | F |
| No neither doth she fear | F |
