| Oh albums albums how I dread | B |
| Your everlasting scrap and scrawl | C |
| How often wish that from the dead | B |
| Old Omar would pop forth his head | B |
| And make a bonfire of you all | C |

| So might I 'scape the spinster band | D |
| The blushless blues who day and night | E |
| Like duns in doorways take their stand | D |
| To waylay bards with book in hand | D |
| Crying for ever Write sir write | E |

| So might I shun the shame and pain | F |
| That o'er me at this instant come | G |
| When Beauty seeking Wit in vain | F |
| Knocks at the portal of my brain | F |
| And gets for answer Not at home | H |
