| Away on blossoms its sweet hour | H |

| That plums and cherries would devour | H |

| Joy's like a Lark that lives alone | J |
| Whose ties are very strong though few | K |
| But Pleasure like a Cuckoo roams | L |
| Makes much acquaintance no friends true | K |

| Joy from her heart doth sing at home | M |
| With little care if others hear | N |
| But pleasure then is cold and dumb | O |
| And sings and laughs with strangers near | P |
