Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| BE the proud Thames of trade the busy mart | A |
| Arun to thee will other praise belong | B |
| Dear to the lover's and the mourner's heart | A |
| And ever sacred to the sons of song | B |
| Thy banks romantic hopeless Love shall seek | C |
| Where o'er the rocks the mantling bindwith flaunts | D |
