Rhyme Scheme: AAAA ABAB ACAC DEDE FGHG| Lament lament Sir Isaac Heard | A |
| Put mourning round thy page Debrett | A |
| For here lies one who ne'er preferred | A |
| A Viscount to a Marquis yet | A |
| - | |
| Beside him place the God of Wit | A |
| Before him Beauty's rosiest girls | B |
| Apollo for a star he'd quit | A |
| And Love's own sister for an Earl's | B |

| Did niggard fate no peers afford | A |

| Put up with even the last creations | C |

| Even Irish names could he but tag 'em | D |
| With Lord and Duke were sweet to call | E |
| And at a pinch Lord Ballyraggum | D |
| Was better than no Lord at all | E |
| - | |
| Heaven grant him now some noble nook | F |
| For rest his soul he'd rather be | G |
| Genteelly damned beside a Duke | H |
| Than saved in vulgar company | G |
