| nbsp nbsp nbsp Her hair about her eyne | A |
| With neck and breast's ripe apples to be seen | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp At first glance of the morn | A |
| In Cyprus' gardens gathering those fair flow'rs | B |

| The Graces naked danced about the place | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp The winds and trees amazed | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp With silence on her gazed | C |
| The flowers did smile like those upon her face | B |
| And as their aspen stalks those fingers band | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp That she might read my case | B |
| A hyacinth I wish'd me in her hand | D |
