Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFGGHHII| I with borrow'd silver shine | A |
| What you see is none of mine | A |
| First I show you but a quarter | B |
| Like the bow that guards the Tartar | B |
| Then the half and then the whole | C |
| Ever dancing round the pole | C |

| What will raise your admiration | D |
| I am not one of God's creation | D |
| But sprung and I this truth maintain | E |
| Like Pallas from my father's brain | E |
| And after all I chiefly owe | F |
| My beauty to the shades below | F |
| Most wondrous forms you see me wear | G |
| A man a woman lion bear | G |
| A fish a fowl a cloud a field | H |
| All figures Heaven or earth can yield | H |
| Like Daphne sometimes in a tree | I |
| Yet am not one of all you see | I |
