| Wait prithee wait this answer Lesbia threw | C |
| Forth to her Dove and took no further heed | D |
| Her eye was busy while her fingers flew | C |
| Across the harp with soul engrossing speed | D |
| But from that bondage when her thoughts were freed | D |
| She rose and toward the close shut casement drew | C |
| Whence the poor unregarded Favourite true | C |
| To old affections had been heard to plead | D |
| With flapping wing for entrance What a shriek | E |
| Forced from that voice so lately tuned to a strain | F |
| Of harmony a shriek of terror pain | F |
| And self reproach for from aloft a Kite | G |
| Pounced and the Dove which from its ruthless beak | E |
| She could not rescue perished in her sight | G |
