Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEEEEFGHF| I am not of those miserable males | A |
| Who sniff at vice and daring not to snap | B |
| Do therefore hope for heaven I take the hap | B |
| Of all my deeds The wind that fills my sails | A |
| Propels but I am helmsman Am I wrecked | C |
| I know the devil has sufficient weight | D |
| To bear I lay it not on him or fate | D |
| Besides he's damned That man I do suspect | C |
| A coward who would burden the poor deuce | E |
| With what ensues from his own slipperiness | E |
| I have just found a wanton scented tress | E |
| In an old desk dusty for lack of use | E |
| Of days and nights it is demonstrative | F |
| That like some aged star gleam luridly | G |
| If for those times I must ask charity | H |
| Have I not any charity to give | F |
