Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEBDDBFGFHIJ| On its late in Inundation of Rome | A |
| - | |
| Well done old Flood that hiding a clear eye | B |
| Beneath thy yellow veil dost wend among | C |
| Those epic hills and dales of seven topp'd song | D |
| To keep watch on the stone eternity | E |
| Whereof the mortal tenants die and die | B |
| One more is gone the deadliest of the long | D |
| Line the foul vast of whose unmeasured wrong | D |
| Twined to its summit in the triple Lie | B |
| Of that thrice curs d Crown And thou brave flood | F |
| Enterest a thousand years of carrion | G |
| To swill away the deeps of dung and blood | F |
| And drown the garbaged tribes that stank thereon | H |
| That so at least the new investiture | I |
| Be on clean threshold and a hearth stone pure | J |
