| I grieve to think that Waller's blam'd | B |
| Waller so long so justly fam'd | B |
| Then own your Verses writ in Haste | C |
| Or I shall say you've lost your Taste | C |
| - | |
| Perhaps your loyal Heart disdains | D |
| A Poet who could take such Pains | D |
| To tune his sweet immortal Lays | E |
| To an usurping Tyrant's Praise | E |
| And where you hate the Man I see | F |
| You never like his Poetry | F |
| The Truth of this your Verse discovers | G |
| So you abus'd the Conscious Lovers | G |
| - | |
| Tho' in your Principles you glory | F |
| The Muses are nor Whig nor Tory | F |
| So from your Sentence they appeal | H |
| Nor will be judg'd by Party Zeal | H |
| Whene'er a Poet's to be try'd | C |
| Let Pope hereafter be your Guide | C |
| Survey the Whole nor seek slight Faults to find | C |
| Where Nature moves and Rapture warms the Mind | C |
