Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEEFFGHDDIIII| Here lies old Hobson Death hath broke his girt | A |
| And here alas hath laid him in the dirt | A |
| Or els the ways being foul twenty to one | B |
| He's here stuck in a slough and overthrown | C |
| 'Twas such a shifter that if truth were known | C |
| Death was half glad when he had got him down | D |
| For he had any time this ten yeers full | E |
| Dodg'd with him betwixt Cambridge and the Bull | E |
| And surely Death could never have prevail'd | F |
| Had not his weekly cours of carriage fail'd | F |
| But lately finding him so long at home | G |
| And thinking now his journeys end was come | H |
| And that he had tane up his latest Inne | D |
| In the kind office of a Chamberlin | D |
| Shew'd him his room where he must lodge that night | I |
| Pull'd off his Boots and took away the light | I |
| If any ask for him it shall be sed | I |
| Hobson has supt and 's newly gon to bed | I |
