Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC ADADEFGG| Whether in velvet white slashed and be pearled | A |
| And rich in knots of clustering gems a glow | B |
| Or in his rusted armor he unfurled | A |
| St George's Cross by Oronoko's flow | B |
| He was a man to note right well as one | C |
| Who shot his arrows straightway at the sun | C |
| - | |
| Dark was his hair his beard all crisp and curled | A |
| And narrow lidded were his piercing eyes | D |
| Anhungered in their glances for a world | A |
| That he might win by daring enterprise | D |
| Explorer soldier scholar poet he | E |
| Not only wrote but acted historie | F |
| And that great Captain of our Saxon stock | G |
| Took his last slumber on the ghastly block | G |
