| In charge of it to defer no not to give ear not in the least | A |
| Appearance to my handsome prophecies | B |
| which here I ponder and put by | C |

| I am left simpler less encumbered by the consciousness | D |
| that I shall by no pebble in my dirty sling | E |

| I have learned to fail And I have had my say | L |
| Yet shall I sing until my voice crack | M |
| this being my leisure this my holiday | L |
| That man was a special thing and no commodity | N |
| a thing improper to be sold | K |
