Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGAH| Dear Sir I think 'tis doubly hard | A |
| Your ears and doors should both be barr'd | A |
| Can anything be more unkind | B |
| Must I not see 'cause you are blind | B |
| Methinks a friend at night should cheer you | C |
| A friend that loves to see and hear you | C |
| Why am I robb'd of that delight | D |
| When you can be no loser by't | E |
| Nay when 'tis plain for what is plainer | F |
| That if you heard you'd be no gainer | F |
| For sure you are not yet to learn | G |
| That hearing is not your concern | G |
| Then be your doors no longer barr'd | A |
| Your business sir is to be heard | H |
