| When bright Ophelia treads the green | B |
| In all the pride of dress and mien | B |
| Averse to freedom mirth and play | C |
| The lofty rival of the day | C |
| Methinks to my enchanted eye | D |
| The lilies droop the roses die | D |
| - | |
| But when disdaining art the fair | E |
| Assumes a soft engaging air | E |
| Mild as the opening morn of May | C |
| And as the feather'd warblers gay | C |
| The scene improves where'er she goes | F |
| More sweetly smile the pink and rose | F |
| - | |
| O lovely maid propitious hear | G |
| Nor think thy Damon insincere | H |
| Pity my wild delusive flame | I |
| For though the flowers are still the same | I |
| To me they languish or improve | J |
| And plainly tell me that I love | K |
