| - | |
| TO fair Fidele's grassy tomb | B |
| Soft maids and village hinds shall bring | C |

| 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 |
