Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEEFFGHIIJJ KKLLMMNNOO| Let me the Honour soon obtain | A |
| For which I long have hop'd in vain | A |
| Since I alas am now confin'd | B |
| Your Visit would be doubly kind | B |
| - | |
| What Sorrows have I not to fear | C |
| Ty'd to the Bed of Sickness here | D |
| When all that's human quits the Place | E |
| And Winter shews his horrid Face | E |
| Whilst Desolation proudly stalks | F |
| Along the dull deserted Walks | F |
| Methinks the Skies already lour | G |
| Loud from the Hills the Torrents pour | H |
| The Shops are shut the Days are dark | I |
| And scarce a Dog is left to bark | I |
| O shield me from the dreadful Storms | J |
| Which my distemper'd Fancy forms | J |
| - | |
| The thoughtless Fair the Toilet prize | K |
| There practise Smiles and point their Eyes | K |
| But Cowper negligent of Art | L |
| Chose early wise the better Part | L |
| Yet from your Mind some Moments spare | M |
| The Stranger be a while your Care | M |
| Who now beneath Affliction bends | N |
| Far from her Country and her Friends | N |
| Come and my anxious Heart relieve | O |
| For in your Presence who could grieve | O |
