Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBDEFGHEG| Harry whose tuneful and well measur'd Song | A |
| First taught our English Musick how to span | B |
| Words with just note and accent not to scan | B |
| With Midas Ears committing short and long | A |
| Thy worth and skill exempts thee from the throng | A |
| With praise enough for Envy to look wan | C |
| To after age thou shalt be writ the man | B |
| That with smooth aire couldst humor best our tongue | D |
| Thou honour'st Verse and Verse must send her wing | E |
| To honour thee the Priest of Phoebus Quire | F |
| That tun'st their happiest lines in Hymn or Story | G |
| Dante shall give Fame leave to set thee higher | H |
| Then his Casella whom he woo'd to sing | E |
| Met in the milder shades of Purgatory | G |
