Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDBBEFGGHH| Written when the Author was sick | A |
| Somnus pow'rful Deity | B |
| Mortals owe their Bliss to thee | B |
| How long shall I thy Absence mourn | C |
| And when be bless'd in thy Return | D |
| Relentless God why will you flee | B |
| And take Delight to torture me | B |

| Your Brother Death your Place supplies | H |
| And kindly seals the Wretch's Eyes | H |
