Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDD EFEFGGCCH| Come then tell me sage divine | A |
| Is it an offense to own | B |
| That our bosoms e'er incline | A |
| Toward immortal glory's throne | B |
| For with me nor pomp nor pleasure | C |
| Bourbon's might Braganza's treasure | C |
| So can fancy's dream rejoice | D |
| So conciliate reason's choice | D |
| As one approving word of her impartial voice | D |
| - | |
| If to spurn at noble praise | E |
| Be the pass port to thy heaven | F |
| Follow thou those gloomy ways | E |
| No such law to me was given | F |
| Nor I trust shall I deplore me | G |
| Faring like my friends before me | G |
| Nor an holier place desire | C |
| Than Timolean's arms acquire | C |
| And Tully's curule chair and Milton's golden lyre | H |
