| Weep with me all you that read | B |
| This little story | C |
| And know for whom a tear you shed | B |
| Death's self is sorry | C |
| 'Twas a child that so did thrive | D |
| In grace and feature | E |
| As Heaven and Nature seem'd to strive | D |
| Which own'd the creature | E |
| Years he number'd scarce thirteen | F |
| When Fates turn'd cruel | A |
| Yet three fill'd zodiacs had he been | G |
| The stage's jewel | A |
| And did act what now we moan | H |
| Old men so duly | C |
| As sooth the Parcae thought him one | I |
| He play'd so truly | C |
| So by error to his fate | J |
| They all consented | K |
| But viewing him since alas too late | J |
| They have repented | K |
| And have sought to give new birth | L |
| In baths to steep him | M |
| But being so much too good for earth | L |
| Heaven vows to keep him | M |
