Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDDEE FFEE| I grieve to see you waste your Time | A |
| And turn your Thoughts so much to Rhyme | A |
| Be wise your useless Views resign | B |
| And fly the fair delusive Nine | B |
| - | |
| I know they try their wonted Art | C |
| To win your easy youthful Heart | C |
| They talk of an immortal Name | D |
| And promise you the Realms of Fame | D |
| A mighty Empire Con 'tis true | E |
| But wondrous small the Revenue | E |

| They'll tell you too to gain their Ends | F |
| That Verse will raise you pow'rful Friends | F |
| Believe me Youth this is not true | E |
| The Great think ev'ry Thing their Due | E |
