Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEBBFFBBBBGHIIJJBB BBKK| Once Jupiter from out the Skies | A |
| Beheld a thousand Temples rise | A |
| The Goddess Fortune all invok'd | B |
| To Jove an Altar seldom smoak'd | B |
| The God resolv'd to make Inspection | C |
| What had occasion'd this Defection | C |
| And bid the Goddess tell the Arts | D |
| By which she won deluded Hearts | D |
| - | |
| My Arts says she Great Jove you know | E |
| That I do ev'ry Thing below | E |
| I make my Vot'ries dine on Plate | B |
| I give the gilded Coach of State | B |
| Bestow the glitt'ring Gems that deck | F |
| The fair Lavinia's lovely Neck | F |
| I make Novella Nature's Boast | B |
| And raise Valeria to a Toast | B |
| 'Tis I who give the Stupid Taste | B |
| Or make the Poets lie at least | B |
| My fav'rite Sons whene'er they please | G |
| Can Palaces in Desarts raise | H |
| Cut out Canals make Fountains play | I |
| And make the dreary Waste look gay | I |
| Ev'n Vice seems Virtue by my Smiles | J |
| I gild the Villain's gloomy Wiles | J |
| Nay almost raise him to a God | B |
| While crowded Levees wait his Nod | B |
| - | |
| Enough the Thunderer reply'd | B |
| But say whom have you satisfy'd | B |
| These boasted Gifts are thine I own | K |
| But know Content is mine alone | K |
