Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFH IBIB| Wherefore unlaurell'd Boy | A |
| Whom the contemptuous Muse will not inspire | B |
| With a sad kind of joy | A |
| Still sing'st thou to thy solitary lyre | B |

| The melancholy winds | C |
| Pour through unnumber'd reeds their idle woes | D |
| And every Naiad finds | E |
| A stream to weep her sorrow as it flows | D |

| Her sighs unto the air | F |
| The Wood maid's native oak doth broadly tell | G |
| And Echo's fond despair | F |
| Intelligible rocks re syllable | H |

| Wherefore then should not I | I |
| Albeit no haughty Muse my heart inspire | B |
| Fated of grief to die | I |
| Impart it to my solitary lyre | B |
