Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEEFBGBG| Your book I've read I would that I had not | A |
| For what instruction pleasure have I got | A |
| Amid that artful labyrinth of doubt | B |
| Long long I wander'd striving to get out | B |
| Your thread of sophistry my only clue | C |
| I fondly hoped would guide me rightly through | C |
| That spider's web entangled me the more | D |
| With desperate courage onward still I went | E |
| Until my head was turn'd my patience spent | E |
| Now now at last thank God the task is o'er | F |
| I've been a child who whirls himself about | B |
| Fancying he sees both earth and heaven turn round | G |
| Till giddy panting sick and wearied out | B |
| He falls and rues his folly on the ground | G |
