Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFDEGD| Here is a tale for artists and for writers | A |
| There was an ass in other words a critic | B |
| Who brayed and balked and kicked most analytic | B |
| And waved long ears above his brother smiters | A |
| He could not tell a rose tree from a thistle | C |
| But oft mistook the one thing for the other | D |
| Then wagged his ears most wisely at some brother | D |
| Sent him his he haw for the Penny Whistle | C |
| A poet sent his volume to him' kindly | E |
| Asking for criticism You might know it | F |
| He made one mouthful of it weed and flower | D |
| There rose a cry that he had done it blindly | E |
| 'Twas poetry What would he kill a poet | G |
| Not he The ass had brayed him into power | D |
