| To cheer the Soul and charm the Sight | A |
| While easy Breezes softer Rain | B |
| And warmer Suns salute the Plain | B |
| 'Twas then in yonder Piny Grove | C |
| That Nature went to meet with Love | D |
| - | |
| Green was her Robe and green her Wreath | E |
| Where e'er she trod 'twas green beneath | E |
| Where e'er she turn'd the Pulses beat | F |
| With new recruits of Genial Heat | F |
| And in her Train the Birds appear | G |
| To match for all the coming Year | G |
| - | |
| Rais'd on a Bank where Daizys grew | H |
| And Vi'lets intermix'd a Blew | H |
| She finds the Boy she went to find | I |
| A thousand Pleasures wait behind | I |
| Aside a thousand Arrows lye | J |
| But all unfeather'd wait to fly | J |
| - | |
| When they met the Dame and Boy | K |
| Dancing Graces idle Joy | K |
| Wanton Smiles and airy Play | L |
| Conspir'd to make the Scene be gay | L |
| Love pair'd the Birds through all the Grove | C |
| And Nature bid them sing to Love | D |
| Sitting hopping flutt'ring sing | M |
| And pay their Tribute from the Wing | M |
| To fledge the Shafts that idly lye | J |
| And yet unfeather'd wait to fly | J |
| - | |
| 'Tis thus when Spring renews the Blood | N |
| They meet in ev'ry trembling Wood | O |
| And thrice they make the Plumes agree | P |
| And ev'ry Dart they mount with three | P |
| And ev'ry Dart can boast a Kind | I |
| Which suits each proper turn of Mind | I |
| - | |
| From the tow'ring Eagle's Plume | Q |
| The Gen'rous Hearts accept their Doom | Q |
| Shot by the Peacock's painted Eye | J |
| The vain and airy Lovers dye | J |
| For careful Dames and frugal Men | R |
| The Shafts are speckled by the Hen | R |
| The Pyes and Parrots deck the Darts | S |
| When Prattling wins the panting Hearts | S |
| When from the Voice the Passions spring | M |
| The warbling Finch affords a Wing | M |
| Together by the Sparrow stung | T |
| Down fall the wanton and the young | T |
| And fledg'd by Geese the Weapons fly | J |
| When others love they know not why | J |
| - | |
| All this as late I chanc'd to rove | C |
| I learn'd in yonder waving Grove | C |
| And see says Love who call'd me near | G |
| How much I deal with Nature here | U |
| How both support a proper Part | V |
| She gives the Feather I the Dart | V |
| Then cease for Souls averse to sigh | J |
| If Nature cross ye so do I | J |
| My Weapon there unfeather'd flies | W |
| And shakes and shuffles through the Skies | W |
| But if the mutual Charms I find | I |
| By which she links you Mind to Mind | I |
| They wing my Shafts I poize the Darts | S |
| And strike from both through both your Hearts | S |
