| In Derry's oaten soil frozen air | B |
| When to the Citty late I bid farewell | C |
| Beneath my firm resolves my scribling fell | C |
| The Ghost of my departed Muse you raise | D |
| tune her tongue to long forgotten layes | D |
| Thus a poor girl by passion overrun | E |
| Tires with the folly forsakes the town | F |
| But if her shades present a powrfull swain | G |
| She feels ye woman stirr loves again | H |
| - | |
| Your thoughts are Just your words fall in wth ease | D |
| Who woud not be abused in lines like these | D |
| Mindless of all the ill they say of me | I |
| I read them admire their poetry | I |
| So when a Charming beauty strikes ye heart | J |
| We slight the wound to gaze upon ye dart | J |
| But oh My friend of writing much beware | B |
| If once you're charmd youre fixd for ever there | B |
| Fame all abroad loose desires with in | K |
| Intice a giddy creature to the pen | H |
| A C lia soon he getts to whom to write | L |
| the brisk bottle must compleat ye witt | M |
| Then every minute of succeeding time | N |
| Invents a frolick or creates a whim | O |
| Which his leud absent friend must hear in rime | O |
| You'll think others have been thus undone | E |
| Your reason can the growing passion shun | E |
| But did you know its strength youd doubt your own | P |

| Your best endeavours on ye law bestow | Q |
| Rough as it is 'tis proffitable too | R |
| Cowel Blunt have words Cook ye way | S |
| to keep the wrangling sons of earth in play | S |
| then if your books you use your Clients pay | S |
| - | |
| Stay Muse in paths you never trod you rove | T |
| My lean advice does my presumption prove | U |
| But Can it shew my fault not my love | V |
| Kindly accept what I in kindness send | W |
| think me as I think my self your friend | W |
