Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHDDII CCJJKKLLMMNO| O Study while thy lovers raise | A |
| Thy name with all the pow'r of praise | A |
| Frown not thou nymph with piercing mind | B |
| If in this bosom thou should'st find | B |
| That all thy deep thy brilliant lore | C |
| Which charm'd it once now charms no more | C |
| Frown not if on thy classic line | D |
| One strange uncall'd for tear should shine | D |
| Frown not if when a smile should start | E |
| A sigh should heave an aching heart | E |
| If Mem'ry roving far away | F |
| Should an unmeaning homage pay | F |
| Should ask thee for thy golden fruit | G |
| And when thou deign'st to hear her suit | G |
| Should turn her from the proffer'd food | H |
| To tread the shades of Solitude | H |
| Frown not if in the humble line | D |
| Ungrac'd by any thought of thine | D |
| Should but that gentle name appear | I |
| Fond cause of ev'ry joy and fear | I |
| I love tho' rude I love it more | C |
| Than all thy piles of letter'd lore | C |
| Frown not if ev'ry airy word | J |
| Which Beauty breathes or Love has heard | J |
| More rich more eloquently flow | K |
| To Mem'ry gives a warmer glow | K |
| Than all by thee so much approv'd | L |
| The wit of age on age improv'd | L |
| Go then and since it is denied | M |
| That thou shalt be my radiant guide | M |
| Leave me to sigh to weep to prove | N |
| How little Learning is to Love | O |
