Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB BB| Dear Sherry I'm sorry for your bloodsheded sore eye | A |
| And the more I consider your case still the more I | A |
| Regret it for see how the pain on't has wore ye | B |
| Besides the good Whigs who strangely adore ye | B |
| In pity cry out He's a poor blinded Tory | B |
| But listen to me and I'll soon lay before ye | B |
| A sovereign cure well attested in Gory | B |
| First wash it with ros that makes dative rori | B |
| Then send for three leeches and let them all gore ye | B |
| Then take a cordial dram to restore ye | B |
| Then take Lady Judith and walk a fine boree | B |
| Then take a glass of good claret ex more | B |
| Then stay as long as you can ab uxore | B |
| And then if friend Dick will but ope your back door he | B |
| Will quickly dispel the black clouds that hang o'er ye | B |
| And make you so bright that you'll sing tory rory | B |
| And make a new ballad worth ten of John Dory | B |
| Though I work your cure yet he'll get the glory | B |
| I'm now in the back school house high up one story | B |
| Quite weary with teaching and ready to mori | B |
| My candle's just out too no longer I'll pore ye | B |
| But away to Clem Barry's there's an end of my story | B |
