Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF| Since Chloe is so monstrous fair | A |
| With such an eye and such an air | A |
| What wonder that the world complains | B |
| When she each am'rous suit disdains | B |
| - | |
| Close to her mother's side she clings | C |
| And mocks the death her folly brings | C |
| To gentle swains that feel the smarts | D |
| Her eyes inflict upon their hearts | D |
| - | |
| Whilst thus the years of youth go by | E |
| Shall Colin languish Strephon die | E |
| Nay cruel nymph come choose a mate | F |
| And choose him ere it be too late | F |
