  1. Where are the silken tresses, which adown
  2. Your shoulders hung? A web was never spun
  3. So fine, but, ah! those flowing curls are gone.
  4. Ah fatal art! ah fatal care, and pains!
  5. That robb'd me of the dearest of my chains.
  6. Nor of a black, nor of a golden hue
  7. They were, but of a dye between the two.
  8. How could you hurt, or poison with perfume,
  9. Those curls that were so easy to the comb?
