Rhyme Scheme: A BA B C DC D E CE C D FD F G HG I| A YOUNG fig tree its form lifts high | A |
| - | |
| Within a beauteous garden | B |
| And see a goat is sitting by | A |
| - | |
| As if he were its warden | B |
| - | |
| But oh Quirites how one errs | C |
| - | |
| The tree is guarded badly | D |
| For round the other side there whirrs | C |
| - | |
| And hums a beetle madly | D |
| - | |
| The hero with his well mail'd coat | E |
| - | |
| Nibbles the branches tall so | C |
| A mighty longing feels the goat | E |
| - | |
| Gently to climb up also | C |
| - | |
| And so my friends ere long ye see | D |
| - | |
| The tree all leafless standing | F |
| It looks a type of misery | D |
| - | |
| Help of the gods demanding | F |
| - | |
| Then listen ye ingenuous youth | G |
| - | |
| Who hold wise saws respected | H |
| From he goat and from beetles tooth | G |
| - | |
| A tree should be protected | I |
