| The polished front the snowy neck | B |
| How seldom we behold in one | C |
| Glossy locks and brow serene | D |
| Venus' smiles Diana's mien | D |
| All meet in you and you alone | E |

| Beauty like other powers maintains | F |
| Her empire and by union reigns | F |
| Each single feature faintly warms | G |
| But where at once we view displayed | H |
| Unblemished grace the perfect maid | H |
| Our eyes our ears our heart alarms | I |
| - | |
| So when on earth the god of day | J |
| Obliquely sheds his tempered ray | J |
| Through convex orbs the beams transmit | K |
| The beams that gently warmed before | L |
| Collected gently warm no more | L |
| But glow with more prevailing heat | M |
