Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| Thy verse is sad enough no doubt | A |
| A devilish deal more sad than witty | B |
| Why we should weep I can't find out | A |
| Unless for thee we weep in pity | B |
| - | |
| Yet there is one I pity more | C |
| And much alas I think he needs it | D |
| For he I'm sure will suffer sore | C |
| Who to his own misfortune reads it | D |
| - | |
| Thy rhymes without the aid of magic | E |
| May once be read but never after | F |
| Yet their effect's by no means tragic | E |
| Although by far too dull for laughter | F |
| - | |
| But would you make our bosoms bleed | G |
| And of no common pang complain | H |
| If you would make us weep indeed | G |
| Tell us you'll read them o'er again | I |
George Gordon Lord Byron
