Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFGHIJKLLDD| Thou see'st me Lucia this year droop | A |
| Three zodiacs fill'd more I shall stoop | A |
| Let crutches then provided be | B |
| To shore up my debility | B |
| Then while thou laugh'st I'll sighing cry | C |
| A ruin underpropt am I | C |
| Don will I then my beadsman's gown | D |
| And when so feeble I am grown | E |
| As my weak shoulders cannot bear | F |
| The burden of a grasshopper | G |
| Yet with the bench of aged sires | H |
| When I and they keep termly fires | I |
| With my weak voice I'll sing or say | J |
| Some odes I made of Lucia | K |
| Then will I heave my wither'd hand | L |
| To Jove the mighty for to stand | L |
| Thy faithful friend and to pour down | D |
| Upon thee many a benison | D |
