Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCAADDAA| When Cupid did his grandsire Jove entreat | A |
| To form some Beauty by a new receipt Jove sent and found far in a country scene | B |
| Truth innocence good nature look serene | B |
| From which ingredients first the dext'rous boy | C |
| Pick'd the demure the awkward and the coy | C |
| The Graces from the court did next provide | A |
| Breeding and wit and air and decent pride | A |
| These Venus cleans'd from ev'ry spurious grain | D |
| Of nice coquet affected pert and vain | D |
| Jove mix'd up all and the best clay employ'd | A |
| Then call'd the happy composition FLOYD | A |
