Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHDIDI JIJIKLMIIIIIDNDN| Ye Wives who scold fishes sell | A |
| Or sing sell your fruit | B |
| I want a wondrous thing to tell | A |
| Then if you can be mute | B |
| From some of You one Homer came | C |
| Who wrote a ballad first | D |
| For He knew neither Parents name | C |
| Nor livd where he was nurst | D |
| His verse in length exceeds us all | E |
| So when a crowd he drew | F |
| Like you he got him to a stall | E |
| spoke as long as you | F |
| Some tatterd Mermaid gave him birth | G |
| Who crys her oyster wares | H |
| Or Else some ragged nymph of earth | G |
| Who sings her Mellow pears | H |
| If 'twas the nymph of fruit was prest | D |
| Apollo was ye Lover | I |
| With tunefull cry he filld her breast | D |
| got a singing Rover | I |
| A Man tho blind yet usd to ply | J |
| Where 'ere he heard of Chear | I |
| His dog it seems preserved an eye | J |
| Its Master livd by ear | I |
| Or if Apollo chancd to Love | K |
| The Mermaid near ye sea | L |
| Whose shriller voice he taught to move | M |
| With buy my oysters pray | I |
| Her shriller voice when raised to Ire | I |
| Woud thunder on ye crew | I |
| So from ye Mother ye Sire | I |
| Old Homers Iliad grew | I |
| then as big with child she stood | D |
| The place she sold her fishes | N |
| Might in his fancy form a floud | D |
| To rage in all th' Odysses | N |
