| But at times not the air that is rarest | B |
| Is fairest | C |
| And we long in the valley to follow | D |

| Where Praed is | G |
| Or we toss the light bells of the mocker | F |
| With Locker | F |

| Oh the song where not one of the Graces | G |
| Tight laces | H |
| Where we woo the sweet Muses not starchly | D |
| But archly | D |

| Where the verse like a piper a Maying | E |
| Comes playing | E |
| And the rhyme is as gay as a dancer | F |
| In answer | F |
| - | |
| It will last till men weary of pleasure | F |
| In measure | F |
| It will last till men weary of laughter | F |
| And after | F |
