1. A boy beyond all I describe
His figure seems a thousand lines

2. When he sways he fills me with fright
Lest he diminish and decline

3. And I fear, from his affection
Lest luxury make him pine

4. In his presence, my joy gleams bright
Yet my days are tinged with blight

5. All my life consumed with woe
My love for him rages fires of woe
