| And of the golden lyre | B |
| And of the golden hair | C |
| And of the golden fire | D |
| Charioteer | D |
| Of the patient year | D |
| Where where slept thine ire | D |
| When like a blank idiot I put on thy wreath | E |
| Thy laurel thy glory | D |
| The light of thy story | D |
| Or was I a worm too low crawling for death | F |

| The Thunderer grasp'd and grasp'd | H |
| The Thunderer frown'd and frown'd | I |
| The eagle's feathery mane | J |
| For wrath became stiffen'd the sound | I |
| Of breeding thunder | D |
| Went drowsily under | D |
| Muttering to be unbound | I |
| O why didst thou pity and beg for a worm | K |
| Why touch thy soft lute | L |
| Till the thunder was mute | L |
| Why was I not crush'd such a pitiful germ | K |

| The Pleiades were up | M |
| Watching the silent air | D |
| The seeds and roots in Earth | N |
| Were swelling for summer fare | D |
| The Ocean its neighbour | D |
| Was at his old labour | D |
| When who who did dare | D |
| To tie for a moment thy plant round his brow | D |
| And grin and look proudly | D |
| And blaspheme so loudly | D |
| And live for that honour to stoop to thee now | D |
| O Delphic Apollo | G |
