| Glorious Colonna still the strength and stay | C |
| Of our best hopes and the great Latin name | D |
| Whom power could never from the true right way | C |
| Seduce by flattery or by terror tame | D |
| No palace theatres nor arches here | E |
| But in their stead the fir the beech and pine | F |
| On the green sward with the fair mountain near | G |
| Paced to and fro by poet friend of thine | F |
| Thus unto heaven the soul from earth is caught | H |
| While Philomel who sweetly to the shade | I |
| The livelong night her desolate lot complains | J |
| Fills the soft heart with many an amorous thought | K |
| Ah why is so rare good imperfect made | I |
| While severed from us still my lord remains | J |

| Glorious Colonna thou the Latins' hope | M |
| The proud supporter of our lofty name | D |
| Thou hold'st thy path of virtue still the same | D |
| Amid the thunderings of Rome's Jove the Pope | M |
| Not here do human structures interlope | M |
| The fir to rival or the pine tree's claim | D |
| The soul may revel in poetic flame | D |
| Upon yon mountain's green and gentle slope | M |
| And thus from earth to heaven the spirit soars | N |
| Whilst Philomel her tale of woe repeats | O |
| Amid the sympathising shades of night | P |
| Thus through man's breast love's current sweetly pours | N |
| Yet still thine absence half the joy defeats | O |
| Alas my friend why dim such radiant light | P |
