Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEF F| Disciple of the bright Aonian Maid | A |
| In thy life's blossom a resistless spell | B |
| Amid the wild wood and irriguous dell | B |
| O'er thymy hill and thro' illumin'd glade | A |
| Led thee for her thy votive wreaths to braid | A |
| Where flaunts the musk rose and the azure bell | B |
| Nods o'er loquacious brook or silent well | B |
| Thus woo'd her inspirations their rapt aid | A |
| Liberal she gave nor only thro' thy strain | C |
| Breath'd their pure spirit while her charms beguil'd | D |
| The languid hours of Sorrow and of Pain | C |
| But when Youth's tide ran high and tempting smil'd | D |
| Circean Pleasure rescuing did she stand | E |
| Broke the Enchantress' cup and snapt her wand | F |
| - | |
| Then of Sutton Coldfield | F |
