Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGBGBBHBHIJIK LMLMNBNBBFBEOPOP| You gave but will not give again | A |
| Until enough of paudeen's pence | B |
| By Biddy's halfpennies have lain | C |
| To be 'some sort of evidence' | B |
| Before you'll put your guineas down | D |
| That things it were a pride to give | E |
| Are what the blind and ignorant town | D |
| Imagines best to make it thrive | F |
| What cared Duke Ercole that bid | G |
| His mummers to the market place | B |
| What th' onion sellers thought or did | G |
| So that his plautus set the pace | B |
| For the Italian comedies | B |
| And Guidobaldo when he made | H |
| That grammar school of courtesies | B |
| Where wit and beauty learned their trade | H |
| Upon Urbino's windy hill | I |
| Had sent no runners to and fro | J |
| That he might learn the shepherds' will | I |
| And when they drove out Cosimo | K |
| Indifferent how the rancour ran | L |
| He gave the hours they had set free | M |
| To Michelozzo's latest plan | L |
| For the San Marco Library | M |
| Whence turbulent Italy should draw | N |
| Delight in Art whoSe end is peace | B |
| In logic and in natural law | N |
| By sucking at the dugs of Greece | B |
| Your open hand but shows our loss | B |
| For he knew better how to live | F |
| Let paudeens play at pitch and toss | B |
| Look up in the sun's eye and give | E |
| What the exultant heart calls good | O |
| That some new day may breed the best | P |
| Because you gave not what they would | O |
| But the right twigs for an eagle's nest | P |
