Rhyme the rack of finest wits	A
That expresseth but by fits	A
True conceit	B
Spoiling senses of their treasure	C
Cozening judgment with a measure	C
But false weight	D
Wresting words from their true calling	E
Propping verse for fear of falling	E
To the ground	F
Jointing syllabes drowning letters	G
Fast'ning vowels as with fetters	G
They were bound	F
Soon as lazy thou wert known	H
All good poetry hence was flown	H
And art banish'd	I
For a thousand years together	C
All Parnassus' green did wither	C
And wit vanish'd	I
Pegasus did fly away	J
At the wells no Muse did stay	J
But bewail'd	J
So to see the fountain dry	K
And Apollo's music die	K
All light failed	J
Starveling rhymes did fill the stage	L
Not a poet in an age	L
Worth crowning	E
Not a work deserving bays	M
Not a line deserving praise	M
Pallas frowning	E
Greek was free from rhyme's infection	N
Happy Greek by this protection	N
Was not spoiled	J
Whilst the Latin queen of tongues	O
Is not yet free from rhyme's wrongs	P
But rests foiled	J
Scarce the hill again doth flourish	Q
Scarce the world a wit doth nourish	Q
To restore	R
Phbus to his crown again	S
And the Muses to their brain	T
As before	R
Vulgar languages that want	J
Words and sweetness and be scant	J
Of true measure	C
Tyrant rhyme hath so abused	J
That they long since have refused	J
Other csure	C
He that first invented thee	U
May his joints tormented be	U
Cramp'd forever	C
Still may syllabes jar with time	V
Still may reason war with rhyme	V
Resting never	C
May his sense when it would meet	J
The cold tumor in his feet	J
Grow unsounder	C
And his title be long fool	W
That in rearing such a school	W
Was the founder	C
