Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIKALAL| Such as in Ships and brittle Barks | A |
| Into the Seas descend | B |
| Shall learn how wholly on those Arks | A |
| Our Victuals do depend | B |
| For when a Man would bite or sup | C |
| Or buy him Goods or Gear | D |
| He needs must call the Oceans up | C |
| And move an Hemisphere | D |
| - | |
| Consider now that Indian Weed | E |
| Which groweth o'er the Main | F |
| With Teas and Cottons for our Need | E |
| And Sugar of the Cane | F |
| Their Comings We no more regard | G |
| Than daily Corn or Oil | H |
| Yet when Men waft Them Englandward | G |
| How infinite the Toil | H |
| - | |
| Nation and People harvesteth | I |
| The tropique Lands among | J |
| And Engines of tumultuous Breath | I |
| Do draw the Yield along | K |
| Yea even as by Hecatombs | A |
| Which presently struck down | L |
| Into our Navies' labouring Wombs | A |
| Make Pennyworths in Town | L |
