Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJFKK K| He left us we the hour of parting come | A |
| To Prasidamus' hospitable home | B |
| Myself and Eucritus together wend | C |
| With young Amynticus our blooming friend | C |
| There all delighted through the summer day | D |
| On beds of rushes pillowed deep we lay | D |
| Around the lentils newly cut were spread | E |
| Dark elms and poplars whispered o'er our head | E |
| A hallowed stream to all the wood nymphs dear | F |
| Fresh from the rocky cavern murmured near | F |
| Beneath the fruit leaves' many mantling shade | G |
| The grasshoppers a coil incessant made | G |
| From the wild thorny thickets heard remote | H |
| The wood lark trilled his far resounding note | H |
| Loud sung the thrush musician of the scene | I |
| And soft and sweet was heard the dove's sad note between | I |
| Then yellow bees whose murmur soothed the ear | J |
| Went idly flitting round the fountain clear | F |
| Summer and Autumn seemed at once to meet | K |
| Filling with redolence the blest retreat | K |
| While the ripe pear came rolling to our feet | K |
