Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| Are the guests of this house still doom'd to be cheated | A |
| Sure the Fates have decreed they by halves should be treated | A |
| In the days of good John if you came here to dine | B |
| You had choice of good meat but no choice of good wine | B |
| In Jonathan's reign if you come here to eat | C |
| You have choice of good wine but no choice of good meat | C |
| O Jove then how fully might all sides be blest | D |
| Wouldst thou but agree to this humble request | D |
| Put both deans in one or if that's too much trouble | E |
| Instead of the deans make the deanery double | E |
