Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEF FGG| When Dryden's fool 'unknowing what he sought ' | A |
| His hours in whistling spent 'for want of thought ' | A |
| This guiltless oaf his vacancy of sense | B |
| Supplied and amply too by innocence | C |
| Did modern swains possess'd of Cymon's powers | D |
| In Cymon's manner waste their leisure hours | D |
| Th' offended guests would not with blushing see | E |
| These fair green walks disgraced by infamy | E |
| Severe the fate of modern fools alas | F |
| - | |
| When vice and folly mark them as they pass | F |
| Like noxious reptiles o'er the whiten'd wall | G |
| The filth they leave still points out where they crawl | G |
