Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBABADEDEFF| Despairless Hopeless Join the cheerful hunt | A |
| Whose hounds are Science high Desires the steeds | B |
| And Misery the quarry Use and Wont | C |
| No help to human anguish bring that bleeds | B |
| For all two thousand years of Christian deeds | B |
| Let Use and Wont in styes still feed and grunt | A |
| Or bovine graze knee deep in flowering meads | B |
| Mount follow Onward urge Life's dragon hunt | A |
| So cries the sportsman brisk at break of day | D |
| The sound of hound and horn is well for thee | E |
| Thus I reply but I have other prey | D |
| And friendly is my quest as you may see | E |
| Though slow my pace full surely in the dark | F |
| I'll chance on it at last though none may mark | F |
