Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFFGGHHIJ| This Little Silent Gloomy Monument | A |
| Contains all that was sweet and innocent | A |
| The softest pratler that e'er found a Tongue | B |
| His Voice was Musick and his Words a Song | C |
| Which now each List'ning Angel smiling hears | D |
| Such pretty Harmonies compose the Spheres | E |
| Wanton as unfledg'd Cupids ere their Charms | F |
| Has learn'd the little arts of doing harms | F |
| Fair as young Cherubins as soft and kind | G |
| And tho translated could not be refin'd | G |
| The Seventh dear pledge the Nuptial Joys had given | H |
| Toil'd here on Earth retir'd to rest in Heaven | H |
| Where they the shining Host of Angels fill | I |
| Spread their gay wings before the Throne and smile | J |
