Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| Austin accept a grateful verse from me | A |
| The poet's treasure no inglorious fee | A |
| Loved by the Muses thy ingenuous mind | B |
| Pleasing requital in my verse may find | B |
| Verse oft has dashed the scythe of Time aside | C |
| Immortalising names which else had died | C |
| And oh could I command the glittering wealth | D |
| With which sick kings are glad to purchase health | D |
| Yet if extensive fame and sure to live | E |
| Were in the power of verse like mine to give | F |
| I would not recompense his art with less | G |
| Who giving Mary health heals my distress | G |
| Friend of my friend I love thee though unknown | H |
| And boldly call thee being his my own | H |
William Cowper
