Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHHDDIJ| Eldest born of powers divine | A |
| Bless'd Hygeia be it mine | A |
| To enjoy what thou canst give | B |
| And henceforth with thee to live | C |
| For in power if pleasure be | D |
| Wealth or numerous progeny | D |
| Or in amorous embrace | E |
| Where no spy infests the place | E |
| Or in aught that Heaven bestows | F |
| To alleviate human woes | F |
| When the wearied heart despairs | G |
| Of a respite from its cares | G |
| These cold and every true delight | H |
| Flourish only in thy sight | H |
| And the sister graces three | D |
| Owe themselves their youth to thee | D |
| Without whom we may possess | I |
| Much but never happiness | J |
