Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFF| In sober mornings do not thou rehearse | A |
| The holy incantation of a verse | A |
| But when that men have both well drunk and fed | B |
| Let my enchantments then be sung or read | B |
| When laurel spirts i' th' fire and when the hearth | C |
| Smiles to itself and gilds the roof with mirth | D |
| When up the Thyrse is raised and when the sound | E |
| Of sacred orgies flies A round A round | E |
| When the rose reigns and locks with ointments shine | F |
| Let rigid Cato read these lines of mine | F |
