Rhyme Scheme: AAABCACDEEEDFFFDGBGH FFFHFFFIJJJIAAADKKKB| Your hair and chin are like the hair | A |
| And chin Burne Jones's ladies wear | A |
| You were unfashionably fair | A |
| In ' | B |
| And sad you were when girls are gay | C |
| You read a book about Le vrai | A |
| Merite de l'homme alone in May | C |
| What CAN it be | D |
| Le vrai merite de l'homme Not gold | E |
| Not titles that are bought and sold | E |
| Not wit that flashes and is cold | E |
| But Virtue merely | D |
| Instructed by Jean Jacques Rousseau | F |
| And Jean Jacques surely ought to know | F |
| You bade the crowd of foplings go | F |
| You glanced severely | D |
| Dreaming beneath the spreading shade | G |
| Of 'that vast hat the Graces made ' | B |
| So Rouget sang while yet he played | G |
| With courtly rhyme | H |
| And hymned great Doisi's red perruque | F |
| And Nice's eyes and Zulme's look | F |
| And dead canaries ere he shook | F |
| The sultry time | H |
| With strains like thunder Loud and low | F |
| Methinks I hear the murmur grow | F |
| The tramp of men that come and go | F |
| With fire and sword | I |
| They war against the quick and dead | J |
| Their flying feet are dashed with red | J |
| As theirs the vintaging that tread | J |
| Before the Lord | I |
| O head unfashionably fair | A |
| What end was thine for all thy care | A |
| We only see thee dreaming there | A |
| We cannot see | D |
| The breaking of thy vision when | K |
| The Rights of Man were lords of men | K |
| When virtue won her own again | K |
| In ' | B |
