Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEDE| Prais'd be the Poet who the Sonnet's claim | A |
| Severest of the orders that belong | B |
| Distinct and separate to the Delphic Song | B |
| Shall venerate nor its appropriate name | A |
| Lawless assume Peculiar is its frame | A |
| From him deriv'd who shunn'd the City Throng | B |
| And warbled sweet thy rocks and streams among | C |
| Lonely Valclusa and that Heir of Fame | A |
| Our greater MILTON hath by many a lay | D |
| Form'd on that arduous model fully shown | E |
| That English Verse may happily display | D |
| Those strict energic measures which alone | E |
| Deserve the name of Sonnet and convey | D |
| A grandeur grace and spirit all their own | E |
