| The dazzling rival of the day | B |
| None other beauty strikes mine eye | C |
| The lilies droop the roses die | C |

| Mild as the opening morn of May | B |
| Familiar friendly free and gay | B |
| The scene improves where'er she goes | E |
| More sweetly smile the pink and rose | E |

| O lovely Maid propitious hear | F |
| Nor deem thy shepherd insincere | G |
| Pity a wild illusive flame | H |
| That varies objects still the same | H |
| And let their very changes prove | I |
| The never varied force of love | J |
