| And all profess to know me fully | K |

| Methinks the West shall know me best | M |
| And therefore hold my memory dearer | N |
| For by that lake a bard shall make | O |
| My subtle hidden meanings clearer | N |

| Pray therefore spare your dolesome praises | P |
| Your elegies and plaintive cries | Q |
| For I shall fertilize no daisies | R |
