Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEE FFFFGG| Believe me Rose howe'er this Con may please | A |
| With flowing Numbers and an easy Phrase | B |
| With Wit with Humour and with ev'ry Art | C |
| That steals the Ear and ravishes the Heart | C |
| Howe'er his Verses are with Rapture read | D |
| They ne'er could spring from his poor Baby Head | D |

| Presumptuous Youth this dang'rous Art forbear | F |
| Nor tempt a Character beyond thy Sphere | F |
| Let meaner Flames thy tender Breast inspire | F |
| Touch not a Beam of hers 'Tis sacred Fire | F |
| Phoebus might trust thy Mother with his Sun | G |
| But you fond Boy may prove a Phaeton | G |
