Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBBCCBDE| I could not find the little maid Content | A |
| So out I rushed and sought her far and wide | B |
| But not where Pleasure each new fancy tried | B |
| Heading the maze of reeling merriment | B |
| Nor where with restless eyes and bow half bent | B |
| Love in a brake of sweetbrier smiled and sighed | B |
| Nor yet where Fame towered crowned and glorified | B |
| Found I her face nor wheresoe'er I went | B |
| So homeward back I crawled like wounded bird | B |
| When lo Content sate spinning at my door | C |
| And when I asked her where she was before | C |
| Here all the time '' she said I never stirred | B |
| Too eager in your search you passed me o'er | D |
| And though I called you neither saw nor heard '' | E |
