| Like him who reigned in Babylon | B |
| Forget the seasons overlaid | C |
| By business and the Board of Trade | C |
| And sing of old world lad and lass | A |
| As in the summers that are gone | D |
| - | |
| Back to the golden prime of Anne | E |
| When you ambassador had been | F |
| And brought o'er sea the King again | G |
| Beatrix Esmond in his train | H |
| Ah happy bard to hold her fan | E |
| And happy land with such a Queen | I |
| - | |
| We live too early or too late | J |
| You should have shared the pint of Pope | K |
| And taught well pleased the shining shell | L |
| To murmur of the fair Lepel | L |
| And changed the stars of St John's fate | J |
| To some more happy horoscope | K |
| - | |
| By duchesses with roses crowned | M |
| And fed with chicken and champagne | H |
| Urbane and witty and too wary | N |

| Of times that cannot come again | G |

| Bring back these years in verse or prose | O |
| I very much prefer your verse | P |
| As on some Twenty Ninth of May | Q |
| Restore the splendour and the sway | Q |
| Forget the sins the wars the woes | O |
| The joys alone must you rehearse | P |
| - | |
| Forget the dunces there is none | R |
| So stupid as to snarl at YOU | S |
| So may your years with pen and book | T |
| Run pleasant as an English brook | T |
| Through meadows floral in the sun | R |
| And shadows fragrant of the dew | S |
| - | |
| And thus at ending of your span | E |
| As all must end the world shall say | Q |
| His best he gave he left us not | U |
| A line that saints could wish to blot | U |
| For he was blameless though a man | E |
| And though the poet he was gay | Q |
