Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECBB| 'Tis true the wisdom that my mind exacts | A |
| Through contemplation from a heart unbent | B |
| By many tempests may be stained and rent | B |
| The summer flies it mightily attracts | A |
| Yet they seem choicer than your sons of facts | A |
| Which scarce give breathing of the sty's content | B |
| For their diurnal carnal nourishment | B |
| Which treat with Nature in official pacts | A |
| The deader body Nature could proclaim | C |
| Much life have neither Let the heavens of wrath | D |
| Rattle then both scud scattering to froth | E |
| But during calms the flies of idle aim | C |
| Less put the spirit out less baffle thirst | B |
| For light than swinish grunters blest or curst | B |
