USKIOB RIOB RLXIRDQERQLJ YJ TKGHKE,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On RIOB ORQH UCQJ?

Chorus:
On RIOB ORQH UCQJ my Jo,
On RIOB ORQH UCQJ,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On RIOB ORQH UCQJ.
