Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| Not to thee Bedford mournful is the tale | A |
| Of days departed Time in his career | B |
| Arraigns not thee that the neglected year | B |
| Has past unheeded onward To the vale | A |
| Of years thou journeyest May the future road | C |
| Be pleasant as the past and on my friend | D |
| Friendship and Love best blessings still attend | D |
| 'Till full of days he reach the calm abode | C |
| Where Nature slumbers Lovely is the age | E |
| Of Virtue With such reverence we behold | F |
| The silver hairs as some grey oak grown old | F |
| That whilome mock'd the rushing tempest's rage | E |
| Now like the monument of strength decayed | G |
| With rarely sprinkled leaves casting a trembling shade | G |
