Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFGGGHHHICHHH BJGGKLHHH| Mourn widdowd Iland Mourn your Pan is dead | A |
| Mourn ye unhappy flocks your Sheapherd Pan is fled | A |
| Around your grief in dolefull straines convey | B |
| Lett ym in sad Eccho's dy away | B |
| As sympathising wth their masters care | C |
| As if they felt th' unlucky newes they bear | C |
| Of this so true a saint heav'n seem'd to send him here | D |
| To shew how good in innocence we were | E |
| So true a saint | F |
| We thought he was no man but from ye skyes | G |
| as there were oft of old some angell in disguise | G |
| But see to undeceive us to our grief he dies | G |
| He was with so good thoughts so freely springing blest | H |
| ye divine garden so few briars did molest | H |
| As if a Paradise were in his breast | H |
| Serene his mind as heaven did appear | I |
| His lookes serene as mercy's self might wear | C |
| His actions might in Justice scales be try'd | H |
| When ere he speak heav'n a theam suppli'd | H |
| Hed melt ye rockiest hearts like Moses to a tide | H |
| But now he setts his paines toiles are o're | B |
| heav'n rewards ye seer with all his store | J |
| He's spent wth doing good now lies down at ease | G |
| Stretcht on ye Pillows of ternall peace | G |
| So ye fam'd Pithian Priestess when her soul | K |
| With ye demanded Oracle is full | L |
| Vext with ye God yt rages in her breast | H |
| Nature is tir'd her spirits are opprest | H |
| She flyes to sacred groves sinkes away to rest | H |
