| - | |
| Theron It would at least have been as merciful | B |
| To hold a moment back from me the briar | C |
| You let recoil thus sharply or my breast | D |
| Not long ago not very long you own'd | E |
| With maiden blushes which became your brow | F |
| Better than corn flower or that periwinkle | B |
| Trained round it by a very careful hand | G |
| A long while trimming it no doubt and proud | H |
| Of making its blue blossom laugh at me | I |
| - | |
| Zoe I could laugh too What did I own It seems | J |
| It was so little you have quite forgot | K |
| - | |
| Theron That since we sate together lay by day | L |
| And walkt together sang together none | M |
| Of earliest gentlest fondest maiden friends | N |
| Loved you as formerly If one remain'd | O |
| Dearer to you than any of the rest | D |
| You could not wish her greater happiness | P |
| - | |
| Zoe Than what | Q |
| - | |
| TheronI think you never could have said it | R |
| I must have dreamt it | R |
| - | |
| Zoe Tell me then your dream | S |
| - | |
| Theron I thought you said nay I will swear you said | T |
| More than one heard it that you could not wish | U |
| The nearest to your heart more perfect joy | V |
| Than Theron's love | W |
| - | |
| Zoe Did I | X |
| - | |
| Theron The Gods in heaven | M |
| Are witnesses no less than woodland Gods | Y |
| That you did say it O how changed no word | Z |
| No look for Theron now | F |
| - | |
| Zoe Girls often say | L |
| More than they mean men always do | A2 |
| - | |
| Theron By Pan | B2 |
| Who punishes with restless nights the false | C2 |
| Hurling the sleeper down the precipice | P |
| Into the roaring gulph or letting loose | D2 |
| Hounds wolves and tigers after him his legs | E2 |
| - | |
| Meanwhile tied not quite close but just apart | F2 |
| In withy bands by him I swear my tongue | G2 |
| Zoe can never utter half my love | W |
| Retract not one fond word | Z |
| - | |
| Zoe I must retract | H2 |
| The whole of those | I2 |
| - | |
| Theron And leave me most unblest | H2 |
| - | |
| Zoe I know not | H2 |
| - | |
| Theron Heed not rather say Farewell | B |
| - | |
| Zoe Farewell I will not call you back again | J2 |
| Go Theron hatred soon will sear your wound | H2 |
| - | |
| Theron Falsehood I hate I can not hate the false | C2 |
| - | |
| Zoe Never Then scorn her | C |

| Theron I can scorn myself | K2 |
| And will for others are preferr'd to me | I |
| The untried to the tried | H2 |
| - | |
| Zoe You said farewell | B |
| - | |
| Theron Again I say it | H2 |
| - | |
| Zoe Now I can believe | L2 |
| That you repeating it indeed are gone | M2 |
| Yet seem you standing where you stood before | N2 |
| Hath Pan done this Pan who doth such strange things | O2 |
| - | |
| Theron Laugh me to scorn derision I deserve | P2 |
| But let that smile O let it be less sweet | H2 |
| Sorrowful let me part but not insane | Q2 |
| - | |
| Zoe I know some words that charm insanity | I |
| Before it can take hold | H2 |
| - | |
| Theron Speak them for now | F |
| Are they most wanted | H2 |
| - | |
| Zoe I did say 'tis true | A2 |
| If on this solid earth friend dear enough | R2 |
| Remain'd to me that Theron is the youth | S2 |
| I would desire to bless her | C |
| - | |
| Theron To avoid | H2 |
| My importunity to hear no more | N2 |
| The broken words that spoilt our mutual song | T2 |
| The sobs that choakt my flute the humidity | I |
| Not from the lip that gurgled on the stops | U2 |
| - | |
| Zoe I would avoid them all they troubled me | I |
| - | |
| Theron Now then farewell | B |
| - | |
| Zoe I will do all the harm | V2 |
| I can to any girl who hopes to love you | A2 |
| Nor shall you have her | C |
| - | |
| Theron Vain and idle threat | H2 |
| - | |
| Zoe So Theron you would love then once again | J2 |
| - | |
| Theron Never were love as possible and easy | I |
| - | |
| Zoe As what | H2 |
| - | |
| Theron As death | W2 |
| - | |
| Zoe O Theron once indeed | H2 |
| I said the words which then so flatter'd you | A2 |
| And now so pain you Long before my friends | N |
| Left me through envy of your fondness for me | I |
| No not the dearest of them could I bear | X2 |
| To see beloved by you False words I spake | Y2 |
| Not knowing then how false they were | C |
| - | |
| Theron Speak now | F |
| One that shall drown them all | B |
| - | |
| Zoe My voice is gone | M2 |
| Why did you kiss me if you wisht to hear it | H2 |
