Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFGG HHIIJJ KKLLCMNNMBBMOOOHHO| Oh Warton to thy soothing shell | A |
| Stretch'd remote in hermit cell | A |
| Where the brook runs babbling by | B |
| For ever I could listening lie | B |
| And catching all the muses' fire | C |
| Hold converse with the tuneful quire | D |
| - | |
| What pleasing themes thy page adorn | E |
| The ruddy streaks of cheerful morn | E |
| The pastoral pipe the ode sublime | F |
| And Melancholy's mournful chime | F |
| Each with unwonted graces shines | G |
| In thy ever lovely lines | G |
| - | |
| Thy muse deserves the lasting meed | H |
| Attuning sweet the Dorian reed | H |
| Now the lovelorn swain complains | I |
| And sings his sorrows to the plains | I |
| Now the sylvan scenes appear | J |
| Through all the changes of the year | J |
| - | |
| Or the elegiac strain | K |
| Softly sings of mental pain | K |
| And mournful diapasons sail | L |
| On the faintly dying gale | L |
| But ah the soothing scene is o'er | C |
| On middle flight we cease to soar | M |
| For now the muse assumes a bolder sweep | N |
| Strikes on the lyric string her sorrows deep | N |
| In strains unheard before | M |
| Now now the rising fire thrills high | B |
| Now now to heaven's high realms we fly | B |
| And every throne explore | M |
| The soul entranced on mighty wings | O |
| With all the poet's heat upsprings | O |
| And loses earthly woes | O |
| Till all alarm'd at the giddy height | H |
| The Muse descends on gentler flight | H |
| And lulls the wearied soul to soft repose | O |
