Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHDDDIJDKDLM| To me whom in their lays the shepherds call | A |
| Act a daughter of the neighbouring stream | B |
| This cave belongs The fig tree and the vine | C |
| Which o'er the rocky entrance downward shoot | D |
| Were plac'd by Glycon He with cowslips pale | E |
| Primrose and purple lychnis deck'd the green | F |
| Before my threshold and my shelving walls | G |
| With honeysuckle cover'd Here at noon | H |
| Lull'd by the murmur of my rising fount | D |
| I slumber here my clustering fruits i tend | D |
| Or from the humid flowers at break of day | D |
| Fresh garlands weave and chace from all my bounds | I |
| Each thing impure or noxious Enter in | J |
| O stranger undismay'd nor bat nor toad | D |
| Here lurks and if thy breast of blameless thoughts | K |
| Approve thee not unwelcome shalt thou tread | D |
| My quiet mansion chiefly if thy name | L |
| Wise Pallas and the immortal muses own | M |
