| BOUGHTON had you bid me chant | C |
| Hymns to Peter Stuyvesant | D |
| Had you bid me sing of Wouter | B |
| He the Onion head the Doubter | B |
| But to rhyme of this one Mocker | B |
| Who shall rhyme to Knickerbocker | B |

| Nay but where my hand must fail | E |
| There the more shall yours avail | E |
| You shall take your brush and paint | F |
| All that ring of figures quaint | F |
| All those Rip van Winkle jokers | G |
| All those solid looking smokers | G |
| Pulling at their pipes of amber | B |
| In the dark beamed Council Chamber | B |

| Only art like yours can touch | H |
| Shapes so dignified and Dutch | H |
| Only art like yours can show | I |
| How the pine logs gleam and glow | I |
| Till the fire light laughs and passes | J |
| 'Twixt the tankards and the glasses | J |
| Touching with responsive graces | K |
| All those grave Batavian faces | J |
| Making bland and beatific | L |
| All that session soporific | L |
| - | |
| Then I come and write beneath | M |
| BOUGHTON he deserves the wreath | M |
| He can give us form and hue | N |
| This the Muse can never do | N |
