| - | |
| TO fair Fidele's grassy tomb | B |
| Soft maids and village hinds shall bring | C |
| Each opening sweet of earliest bloom | B |
| And rifle all the breathing spring | C |
| - | |
| No wailing ghost shall dare appear | D |
| To vex with shrieks this quiet grove | E |
| But shepherd lads assemble here | F |
| And melting virgins own their love | G |

| No wither'd witch shall here be seen | H |
| No goblins lead their nightly crew | I |
| The female fays shall haunt the green | H |
| And dress thy grave with pearly dew | I |
| - | |
| The redbreast oft at evening hours | J |
| Shall kindly lend his little aid | K |
| With hoary moss and gather'd flowers | J |
| To deck the ground where thou art laid | K |
| - | |
| When howling winds and beating rain | L |
| In tempests shake thy sylvan cell | M |
| Or 'midst the chase on every plain | L |
| The tender thought on thee shall dwell | M |
| - | |
| Each lonely scene shall thee restore | N |
| For thee the tear be duly shed | A |
| Belov'd till life can charm no more | N |
| And mourn'd till Pity's self be dead | A |
