Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEDE AFFAGGHIJK| Of Neptune's empire let us sing | A |
| At whose command the waves obey | B |
| To whom the rivers tribute pay | B |
| Down the high mountains sliding | A |
| To whom the scaly nation yields | C |
| Homage for the crystal fields | C |
| Wherein they dwell | D |
| And every sea dog pays a gem | E |
| Yearly out of his wat'ry cell | D |
| To deck great Neptune's diadem | E |

| The Tritons dancing in a ring | A |
| Before his palace gates do make | F |
| The water with their echoes quake | F |
| Like the great thunder sounding | A |
| The sea nymphs chant their accents shrill | G |
| And the sirens taught to kill | G |
| With their sweet voice | H |
| Make ev'ry echoing rock reply | I |
| Unto their gentle murmuring noise | J |
| The praise of Neptune's empery | K |
