Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEAA| GOD grant thee thine own wish and grant thee mine | A |
| Thou who dost best friend in best things outshine | A |
| May thy soul ever cheerful ne'er know cares | B |
| Nor thy life ever lively know grey hairs | B |
| Nor thy hand ever open know base holds | C |
| Nor thy purse ever plump know pleats or folds | C |
| Nor thy tongue ever true know a false thing | D |
| Nor thy words ever mild know quarrelling | D |
| Nor thy works ever equal know disguise | E |
| Nor thy fame ever pure know contumelies | E |
| Nor thy prayers know low objects still divine | A |
| God grant thee thine own wish and grant thee mine | A |
