Begin my muse the imitative lay	A
Aonian doxies sound the thrumming string	B
Attempt no number of the plaintive Gay	A
Let me like midnight cats or Collins sing	B
If in the trammels of the doleful line	C
The bounding hail or drilling rain descend	D
Come brooding Melancholy pow'r divine	C
And ev'ry unform'd mass of words amend	D
	-
Now the rough goat withdraws his curling horns	E
And the cold wat'rer twirls his circling mop	F
Swift sudden anguish darts thro' alt'ring corns	E
And the spruce mercer trembles in his shop	F
	-
Now infant authors madd'ning for renown	G
Extend the plume and him about the stage	H
Procure a benefit amuse the town	G
And proudly glitter in a title page	H
	-
Now wrapt in ninefold fur his squeamish grace	I
Defies the fury of the howling storm	J
And whilst the tempest whistles round his face	I
Exults to find his mantled carcase warm	J
	-
Now rumbling coaches furious drive along	K
Full of the majesty of city dames	L
Whose jewels sparkling in the gaudy throng	K
Raise strange emotions and invidious flames	L
	-
Now Merit happy in the calm of place	I
To mortals as a highlander appears	M
And conscious of the excellence of lace	I
With spreading frogs and gleaming spangles glares	N
	-
Whilst Envy on a tripod seated nigh	O
In form a shoe boy daubs the valu'd fruit	P
And darting lightnings from his vengeful eye	O
Raves about Wilkes and politics and Bute	P
	-
Now Barry taller than a grenadier	Q
Dwindles into a stripling of eighteen	R
Or sabled in Othello breaks the ear	Q
Exerts his voice and totters to the scene	R
	-
Now Foote a looking glass for all mankind	S
Applies his wax to personal defects	T
But leaves untouch'd the image of the mind	S
His art no mental quality reflects	T
	-
Now Drury's potent kind extorts applause	U
And pit box gallery echo how divine	C
Whilst vers'd in all the drama's mystic laws	U
His graceful action saves the wooden line	C
	-
Now but what further can the muses sing	B
Now dropping particles of water fall	V
Now vapours riding on the north wind's wing	B
With transitory darkness shadow all	V
	-
Alas how joyless the descriptive theme	W
When sorrow on the writer's quiet preys	X
And like a mouse in Cheshire cheese supreme	W
Devours the substance of the less'ning bays	X
	-
Come February lend thy darkest sky	O
There teach the winter'd muse with clouds to soar	Q
Come February lift the number high	O
Let the sharp strain like wind thro' alleys roar	Q
	-
Ye channels wand'ring thro' the spacious street	Y
In hollow murmurs roll the dirt along	K
With inundations wet the sabled feet	Y
Whilst gouts responsive join th'elegiac song	K
	-
Ye damsels fair whose silver voices shrill	Z
Sound thro' meand'ring folds of Echo's horn	A2
Let the sweet cry of liberty be still	Z
No more let smoking cakes awake the morn	A2
	-
O Winter Put away the snowy pride	B2
O Spring Neglect the cowslip and the bell	C2
O Summer Throw thy pears and plums aside	B2
O Autumn Bid the grape with poison swell	C2
	-
The pension'd muse of Johnson is no more	Q
Drown'd in a butt of wine his genius lies	D2
Earth Ocean Heav'n The wond'rous loss deplore	Q
The dregs of nature with her glory dies	D2
	-
What iron Stoic can suppress the tear	Q
What sour reviewer read with vacant eye	O
What bard but decks his literary bier	Q
Alas I cannot sing I howl I cry	O
