| SWEET sacred hill on whose fair brow | B |
| My Saviour sate shall I allow | B |
| Language to love | C |
| And idolize some shade or grove | D |
| Neglecting thee such ill plac'd wit | E |
| Conceit or call it what you please | F |

| Cotswold and Cooper's both have met | G |
| With learn swains and echo yet | G |
| Their pipes and wit | E |
| But thou sleep'st in a deep neglect | H |
| Untouch'd by any and what need | I |
| The sheep bleat thee a silly lay | J |
| That heard'st both reed | I |
| And sheepward play | J |

| Yet if poets mind thee well | K |
| They shall find thou art their hill | L |
| And fountain too | M |
| Their Lord with thee had most to do | M |
| He wept once walk'd whole nights on thee | N |
| And from thence His suff'rings ended | O |
| Unto glory | N |
| Was attended | O |

| Being there this spacious ball | P |
| Is but His narrow footstool all | P |
| And what we think | Q |
| Unsearchable now with one wink | Q |
| He doth comprise but in this air | R |
| When He did stay to bear our ill | L |
| And sin this hill | L |
| Was then His Chair | R |
