Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGHGIGGJGKL| Avon why runnest thou away so fast | A |
| Rest thee before that Chance where repose | B |
| The bones of him whose spirit moves the world | C |
| I have beheld thy birthplace I have seen | D |
| Thy tiny ripples where they played amid | E |
| The golden cups and ever waving blades | F |
| I have seen mighty rivers I have seen | D |
| Padus recovered from his firy wound | G |
| And Tiber prouder than them all to bear | H |
| Upon his tawny bosom men who crusht | G |
| The world they trod on heeding not the cries | I |
| Of culprit kings and nations many tongued | G |
| What are to me these rivers once adorn'd | G |
| With crowns they would not wear but swept away | J |
| Worthier art thou of worship and I bend | G |
| My knees upon thy bank and call thy name | K |
| And hear or think I hear thy voice reply | L |
