The melody is O'Carolan's "Planxty Kelly," set to words by Thomas Moore (1779-1852), published in his Irish Melodies, vol. 1 (1808). The song begins:
Fly not yet, 'tis just the hour,
When pleasure, like the midnight flower
That scorns the eye of vulgar light,
Begins to bloom for sons of night,
And maids who love the moon.
