Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD E| Fortunate Vale exulting Hill dear Plain | A |
| Where morn and eve my soul's fair Idol stray'd | B |
| While all your winds that murmur'd thro' the glade | B |
| Stole her sweet breath yet yet your paths retain | A |
| Prints of her step by fount whose floods remain | A |
| In depth unfathom'd 'mid the rocks that shade | B |
| With cavern'd arch their sleep Ye streams that play'd | B |
| Around her limbs in Summer's ardent reign | A |
| The soft resplendence of those azure eyes | C |
| Ting'd ye with living light The envied claim | D |
| These blest distinctions give my lyre my sighs | C |
| My songs record and from their Poet's flame | D |
| Bid this wild Vale its Rocks and Streams arise | C |
| Associates still of their bright MISTRESS' fame | D |
