Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDEEFFGHII| My Lord | A |
| Our weekly friends to morrow meet | B |
| At Matthew's palace in Duke street | B |
| To try for once if they can dine | C |
| On bacon ham and mutton chine | C |
| If wearied with the great affairs | D |
| Which Britain trusts to Harley's cares | D |
| Thou humble statesman may'st descend | E |
| Thy mind one moment to unbend | E |
| To see thy servant from his soul | F |
| Crown with thy health the sprightly bowl | F |
| Among the guests which e'er my house | G |
| Received it never can produce | H |
| Of honour a more glorious proof | I |
| Though Dorset used to bless the roof | I |
