| Assisting Grace to burst his sinfull chain | A |
| For him the Days with golden minutes glow | B |
| Tis his the Land where milk hony flow | B |
| Justice mercy piety peace | C |
| Attend his workes crown them with success | D |
| He hopes the best that is for heavn prepard | E |
| wants no bliss while virtue can reward | E |
| That purpled hour which ushers in the light | E |
| that which shuts its beautys up in night | E |
| Still hears him pray still sees his actions right | E |
| For him they still on easy minutes speed | E |
| as they move for him the rest succeed | E |
| - | |
| But most Alas by vain opinion lead | E |
| Ore the wild maze of erring passions tread | E |
| now to this now to that we go | B |
| each desire neither rightly know | B |
| act irresolute in all we do | E |
| seldom stay to search our objects through | E |
| Desire is vain wanton free to range | F |
| Fond of a Chace fond the Chace to Change | F |
| By turns a thousand inclinations rise | G |
| each by turns as impotently dies | G |
| Now thought grows wild if loose Aminta's kind | E |
| Shee spreads her Charms captivates the mind | E |
| Anon Aminta leaves the thought at ease | H |
| No more her aires soft Allurements please | H |
| We love reclining in ye shady bowers | I |
| by running waters near sweet banks of flowrs | I |
| To surfeit nature with full bowles of wine | J |
| with forcd appetites on bliss refine | J |
| Then buisy then fantastically wise | I |
| Then to be some thing else we streight devise | I |
| For Fancy still undreind affors supplys | I |
| tis thus if reason from the throne be gon | J |
| The madd affections bear their master on | J |
| His life proves restless his labour vain | J |
| By hurrying after Phantomes of the brain | J |
| So the brave Falcon when its glorys fade | E |
| When its strong wings their generous forces shed | E |
| The vacant holds ignobler birds supply | K |
| With Ravens feathers impd she mounts on high | K |
| weak or giddy strayes along the sky | K |
| - | |
| In Every Change indeed resolves we make | L |
| But those resolves to settle newer break | L |
| By contradictions thus we seem to live | M |
| Nor want the colour of a cause to give | N |
| Kind heav'n forgive us when for what we do | E |
| We woud debauch our knack of reasning too | E |
| When int'rest does on thought its force dispence | I |
| When pleasure beats upon the dazzled sence | I |
| Our resolutions oft in vain are made | E |
| Kind heavn forgive the fault lend thine aid | E |
| If by thy law we must temptations find | E |
| If these must try the temper of the mind | E |
| We begg thee not to change thy good decree | O |
| We begg for pardon or support from thee | O |
| Our wisdome never shoud thy ways confine | J |
| but thus confess humbly rest in thine | J |
| Tis well theres tryalls since the mans so proud | E |
| since he's weak tis well theres Grace allowd | E |
