Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHHIJ| Tell me young man or did the Muses bring | A |
| Thee less to taste than to drink up their spring | A |
| That none hereafter should be thought or be | B |
| A poet or a poet like but thee | B |
| What was thy birth thy star that makes thee known | C |
| At twice ten years a prime and public one | D |
| Tell us thy nation kindred or the whence | E |
| Thou had'st and hast thy mighty influence | F |
| That makes thee lov'd and of the men desir'd | G |
| And no less prais'd than of the maids admired | G |
| Put on thy laurel then and in that trim | H |
| Be thou Apollo or the type of him | H |
| Or let the unshorn god lend thee his lyre | I |
| And next to him be master of the choir | J |
