Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCCE FGFFH IJIIJ| Strephon whose Person ev'ry Grace | A |
| Was careful to adorn | B |
| Thought by the Beauties of his Face | A |
| In Silvia's Love to find a place | A |
| And wonder'd at her Scorn | B |
| With Bows and Smiles he did his Part | C |
| But Oh 'twas all in vain | D |
| A Youth less Fine a Youth of Art | C |
| Had talk'd himself into her Heart | C |
| And wou'd not out again | E |

| Strephon with change of Habits press'd | F |
| And urg'd her to admire | G |
| His Love alone the Other dress'd | F |
| As Verse or Prose became it best | F |
| And mov'd her soft Desire | H |
| - | |
| This found his courtship Strephon ends | I |
| Or makes it to his Glass | J |
| There in himself now seeks amends | I |
| Convinc'd that where a Wit pretends | I |
| A Beau is but an Ass | J |
