Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFG HIHIJJ| Humanity's bright image to impair | A |
| Scorn laid thee prostrate in the deepest dust | B |
| Wit wages ceaseless war on all that's fair | A |
| In angel and in God it puts no trust | B |
| The bosom's treasures it would make its prey | C |
| Besieges fancy dims e'en faith's pure ray | C |
| - | |
| Yet issuing like thyself from humble line | D |
| Like thee a gentle shepherdess is she | E |
| Sweet poesy affords her rights divine | D |
| And to the stars eternal soars with thee | E |
| Around thy brow a glory she hath thrown | F |
| The heart 'twas formed thee ever thou'lt live on | G |
| - | |
| The world delights whate'er is bright to stain | H |
| And in the dust to lay the glorious low | I |
| Yet fear not noble bosoms still remain | H |
| That for the lofty for the radiant glow | I |
| Let Momus serve to fill the booth with mirth | J |
| A nobler mind loves forms of nobler worth | J |
