Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHH I| Hail gifted youth whose passion breathing lay | A |
| Portrays a mind attuned to noblest themes | B |
| A mind which wrapt in Fancy's high wrought dreams | B |
| To nature's veriest bounds its daring way | A |
| Can wing what charms throughout thy pages shine | C |
| To win with fairy thrill the melting soul | D |
| For though along impassion'd grandeur roll | D |
| Yet in full power simplicity is thine | C |
| Proceed sweet bard and the heaven granted fire | E |
| Of pity glowing in thy feeling breast | F |
| May nought destroy may nought thy soul divest | F |
| Of joy of rapture in the living lyre | G |
| Thou tunest so magically but may fame | H |
| Each passing year add honours to thy name | H |
