Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEE| When Jove lay bless'd in his Alcm na's charms | A |
| Three nights in one he press'd her in his arms | A |
| The sun lay set and conscious nature strove | B |
| To shade her god and to prolong his love | C |
| From that auspicious night Alcides came | D |
| What less could rise from Jove and such a dame | D |
| May this auspicious night with that compare | E |
| Nor less the joys nor less the rising heir | E |
| He strong as Jove she like Alcm na fair | E |
