How care|ful was | I when | I took | my way,
, , , , ,
Each^tri|fle und|er tru|est bars | to thrust,
, , , , ,
That to | my use | it might | unus|ed stay

, T T . T
From hands | of false|hood, in | sure wards of
trust?
, , , , ,
But thou,| to whom | my jew|els trif|les are,
, , , ,
,
Most^worth|y com|fort, now | my great|est grief,
, , , ,
,
Thou best | of dear|est, and | mine^on|ly care,
, , , , ,
Art left | the prey | of eve|ry vul|gar thief.
, , ,
, ,
Thee have | I not | locked^up | in an|y chest,
,
, ,
, ,
Save where*| thou art | not, though^|I feel |
thou^art,
, , , ,
,
Within | the gent|le clos|ure of | my breast,
, , ,
, ,
From whence | at pleas|ure thou | mayst come |
and part;

And ev|en thence | thou wilt | be stolen | I fear,
, , ,
, ,
For truth | proves thiev/ish for | a prize | so
dear.
