Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFH IJKL MNMN OCOC| Tyrant of all our loves and friendships here | A |
| Behold thy beauteous victim Ah tis thine | B |
| To rend fond hearts and start the tend'rest tear | C |
| Where joy should long in cloudless radiance shine | B |
| - | |
| Alas the mourning Muse in vain would paint | D |
| Blest shade how purely pass'd thy life away | E |
| Or with the meekness of a favour'd saint | D |
| How rose thy spirit to the realms of day | E |
| - | |
| 'Twas thine to fill each part that gladdens life | F |
| Such as approving angels smile upon | G |
| The faultless daughter parent friend and wife | F |
| Virtues short lived they set just as they shone | H |
| - | |
| Thus in the bosom of some winding grove | I |
| Where oft the pensive melodist retires | J |
| From his sweet instrument the note of love | K |
| Charms the rapt ear but as it charms expires | L |
| - | |
| Farewell pure spirit o'er thine early grave | M |
| Oblivion ne'er shall spread her freezing shade | N |
| Nature shall bid her richest foliage wave | M |
| Where her reposing fav'rite child is laid | N |
| - | |
| There widow'd fondness oft when summers bloom | O |
| Shall with thy infant pledge of love repair | C |
| Oft shall they kneel beside thy mossy tomb | O |
| And tears shall dew the flow'rs that blossom there | C |
