Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| Play I could once but gentle friend you see | A |
| My harp hung up here on the willow tree | A |
| Sing I could once and bravely too inspire | B |
| With luscious numbers my melodious lyre | B |
| Draw I could once although not stocks or stones | C |
| Amphion like men made of flesh and bones | C |
| Whither I would but ah I know not how | D |
| I feel in me this transmutation now | D |
| Grief my dear friend has first my harp unstrung | E |
| Wither'd my hand and palsy struck my tongue | E |
