Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIJI| Then first from Love in Nature's bowers | A |
| Did Painting learn her fairy skill | B |
| And cull the hues of loveliest flowers | A |
| To picture woman lovelier still | B |
| For vain was every radiant hue | C |
| Till Passion lent a soul to art | D |
| And taught the painter ere he drew | C |
| To fix the model in his heart | D |

| Thus smooth his toil awhile went on | E |
| Till lo one touch his art defies | F |
| The brow the lip the blushes shone | G |
| But who could dare to paint those eyes | F |
| 'Twas all in vain the painter strove | H |
| So turning to that boy divine | I |
| Here take he said the pencil Love | J |
| No hand should paint such eyes but thine | I |
