| Whereas Lord de | B |
| Left his home last Saturday | B |
| And tho' inquired for round and round | C |
| Thro' certain purlieus can't be found | C |

| His Lordship's mind of late they say | H |
| Hath been in an uneasy way | H |
| Himself and colleagues not being let | I |
| To climb into the Cabinet | J |
| To settle England's state affairs | K |
| Hath much it seems unsettled theirs | K |
| And chief to this stray Plenipo | L |
| Hath been a most distressing blow | M |

| Is for the purpose of reviewing | X |
| In person what dear Mig is doing | X |
| So as to 'scape all tell tale letters | W |
| 'Bout Beresford and such abetters | W |
| The only wretches for whose aid | Y |
| Letters seem not to have been made | Y |
