Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGEEHHHI IBBBBEE| To friend with fingers quick limber | A |
| I send this piece of tunefull timber | A |
| that as 'tis said in Orpheus story | B |
| He may teach trees to dance a Bory | B |
| Or else in modern Phrase more knavish | C |
| He may the heart of broomstick ravish | C |
| The man whose parts in Taverns shine | D |
| Doates on the merry pipe of wine | D |
| he who late has got his pate full | E |
| perceives the water pipe is gratefull | E |
| But these are pipes that still are mute | F |
| there is some musick in a flute | F |
| Which since I as a present send | G |
| the presents worth to recommend | G |
| Ile in soft words its praises warble | E |
| translated from Italian marble | E |
| 'When ere we hear its strains closes | H |
| 'Enchanted reason sweetly dozes | H |
| 'on laps of nymphs beds of roses | H |
| 'the Soul that all its charms admires | I |
| 'for lodgings in the ear enquires | I |
| 'Gay pictures do the Fancy store | B |
| ' passions felt but heard no more | B |
| All that my author says is true | B |
| When th' instrument is playd by you | B |
| least you think I came by this ill | E |
| Splut her was preed her from a whistle | E |
