| The monument that I have built is durable as brass | B |
| And loftier than the Pyramids which mock the years that pass | B |
| No blizzard can destroy it nor furious rain corrode | A |
| Remember I'm the bard who built the first Horatian Ode | A |
| - | |
| I shall not altogether die a part of me's immortal | C |
| A part of me shall never pass the mortuary portal | C |
| And when I die my fame shall stand the nitric test of time | D |
| The fame of me of lowly birth who built the lofty rhyme | D |
| - | |
| Ay fame shall be my portion when no trace there is of me | E |
| For I first made olian songs the songs of Italy | E |
| Accept I pray Melpomene my modest meed of praise | B |
| And crowm my thinning graying locks with wreathes of Delphic bays | B |
