| Cyriack whose Grandsire on the Royal Bench | B |
| Of Brittish Themis with no mean applause | C |
| Pronounc't and in his volumes taught our Lawes | C |
| Which others at their Barr so often wrench | B |
| To day deep thoughts resolve with me to drench | B |
| In mirth that after no repenting drawes | C |
| Let Euclid rest and Archimedes pause | C |
| And what the Swede intend and what the French | B |
| To measure life learn thou betimes and know | D |
| Toward solid good what leads the nearest way | E |
| For other things mild Heav'n a time ordains | C |
| And disapproves that care though wise in show | D |
| That with superfluous burden loads the day | E |
| And when God sends a cheerful hour refrains | C |
