| Each in the self same field we glean | B |
| The field of the Samosatene | B |
| Each something takes and something leaves | C |
| And this must choose and that forego | D |
| In Lucian's visionary sheaves | C |
| To twine a modern posy so | D |
| But all any gleanings truth to tell | E |
| Are mixed with mournful asphodel | E |
| While yours are wreathed with poppies red | F |
| With flowers that Helen's feet have kissed | G |
| With leaves of vine that garlanded | G |
| The Syrian Pantagruelist | G |
| The sage who laughed the world away | H |
| Who mocked at Gods and men and care | I |
| More sweet of voice than Rabelais | D |
| And lighter hearted than Voltaire | I |
