| Though bootless be the theme | C |
| I loved and was beloved again | D |

| But coldly dwell alone | G |
| - | |
| Not maid more bright than maid was e'er | H |
| My fancy shall beguile | I |
| By flattering word or feigned tear | J |
| By gesture look or smile | I |
| No more I'll call the shaft fair shot | E |
| Till it has fairly flown | G |
| Nor scorch me at a flame so hot | E |
| I'll rather freeze alone | G |

| Each ambush'd Cupid I'll defy | K |
| In cheek or chin or brow | L |
| And deem the glance of woman's eye | K |
| As weak as woman's vow | L |
| I'll lightly hold the lady's heart | M |
| That is but lightly won | N |
| I'll steel my breast to beauty's art | M |
| And learn to live alone | G |

| The flaunting torch soon blazes out | O |
| The diamond's ray abides | P |
| The flame its glory hurls about | O |
| The gem its lustre hides | P |

| And glow'd a diamond stone | G |
| But since each eye may see it shine | Q |
| I'll darkling dwell alone | G |
| - | |
| No waking dream shall tinge my thought | R |
| With dyes so bright and vain | B |
| No silken net so slightly wrought | R |
| Shall tangle me again | D |
| No more I'll pay so dear for wit | S |
| I'll live upon mine own | G |
| Nor shall wild passion trouble it | S |
| I'll rather dwell alone | G |
| - | |
| And thus I'll hush my heart to rest | T |
| Thy loving labour's lost | U |
| Thou shalt no more be wildly blest | T |
| To be so strangely crost | T |
| The widow'd turtles mateless die | T |
| The phoenix is but one | N |
| They seek no loves no more will I | T |
| I'll rather dwell alone | G |
