Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDDDDEECC DDFFDGGGHHIIJJ CCKLCGGGAADDMN| At last my old inveterate foe | A |
| No opposition shalt thou know | A |
| Since I by struggling can obtain | B |
| Nothing but encrease of pain | B |
| I will att last no more do soe | C |
| Tho' I confesse I have apply'd | D |
| Sweet mirth and musick and have try'd | D |
| A thousand other arts beside | D |
| To drive thee from my darken'd breast | D |
| Thou who hast banish'd all my rest | D |
| But though sometimes a short repreive they gave | E |
| Unable they and far too weak to save | E |
| All arts to quell did but augment thy force | C |
| As rivers check'd break with a wilder course | C |
| - | |
| Freindship I to my heart have laid | D |
| Freindship th' applauded sov'rain aid | D |
| And thought that charm so strong wou'd prove | F |
| As to compell thee to remove | F |
| And to myself I boasting said | D |
| Now I a conqu'rer sure shall be | G |
| The end of all my conflicts see | G |
| And noble tryumph wait on me | G |
| My dusky sullen foe will sure | H |
| N'er this united charge endure | H |
| But leaning on this reed ev'n whilst I spoke | I |
| It peirc'd my hand and into peices broke | I |
| Still some new object or new int'rest came | J |
| And loos'd the bonds and quite disolv'd the claim | J |
| - | |
| These failing I invok'd a Muse | C |
| And Poetry wou'd often use | C |
| To guard me from thy Tyrant pow'r | K |
| And to oppose thee ev'ry hour | L |
| New troops of fancy's did I chuse | C |
| Alas in vain for all agree | G |
| To yeild me Captive up to thee | G |
| And heav'n alone can sett me free | G |
| Thou through my life wilt with me goe | A |
| And make ye passage sad and slow | A |
| All that cou'd ere thy ill gott rule invade | D |
| Their uselesse arms before thy feet have laid | D |
| The Fort is thine now ruin'd all within | M |
| Whilst by decays without thy Conquest too is seen | N |
