Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEDEDE| Captain or colonel or knight in arms | A |
| Whose chance on these defenceless doors may seize | B |
| If deed of honour did thee ever please | B |
| Guard them and him within protect from harms | A |
| He can requite thee for he knows the charms | A |
| That call fame on such gentle acts as these | B |
| And he can spread thy name o er lands and seas | B |
| Whatever clime the sun s bright circle warms | C |
| Lift not thy spear against the Muse s bower | D |
| The great Emathian conqueror bid spare | E |
| The house of Pindarus when temple and tower | D |
| Went to the ground and the repeated air | E |
| Of sad Electra s Poet had the power | D |
| To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare | E |
