| You want not antiquity's stamp | B |
| A lip that such fragrance discloses | A |
| Oh never should smell of the lamp | B |
| - | |
| Old Cloe whose withering kiss | A |
| Hath long set the Loves at defiance | A |
| Now done with the science of bliss | A |
| May take to the blisses of science | A |

| But for you to be buried in books | A |
| Ah Fanny they're pitiful sages | A |
| Who could not in one of your looks | A |
| Read more than in millions of pages | A |

| Astronomy finds in those eyes | A |
| Better light than she studies above | C |
| And Music would borrow your sighs | A |
| As the melody fittest for Love | C |

| Your Arithmetic only can trip | D |
| If to count your own charms you endeavor | E |
| And Eloquence glows on your lip | D |
| When you swear that you'll love me for ever | E |

| Thus you see what a brilliant alliance | A |
| Of arts is assembled in you | F |
| A course of more exquisite science | A |
| Man never need wish to pursue | F |

| And oh if a Fellow like me | G |
| May confer a diploma of hearts | A |
| With my lip thus I seal your degree | G |
| My divine little Mistress of Arts | A |
