Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGAA| Lucy you brightness of our sphere who are | A |
| Life of the Muses' day their morning star | A |
| If works not th' author's their own grace should look | B |
| Whose poems would not wish to be your book | B |
| But these desir'd by you the maker's ends | C |
| Crown with their own Rare poems ask rare friends | C |
| Yet satires since the most of mankind be | D |
| Their unavoided subject fewest see | D |
| For none e'er took that pleasure in sin's sense | E |
| But when they heard it tax'd took more offence | E |
| They then that living where the matter is bred | F |
| Dare for these poems yet both ask and read | F |
| And like them too must needfully though few | G |
| Be of the best and 'mongst those best are you | G |
| Lucy you brightness of our sphere who are | A |
| The Muses' evening as their morning star | A |
