Rhyme Scheme: A BBAACD A EEFG H IIAAAA I IIJJDC| ON A TREE COMMANDING A VIEW OF THE WHOLE EXTENT OF BOWOOD | A |
| - | |
| When in thy sight another's vast domain | B |
| Spreads its long line of woods dost thou complain | B |
| Nay rather thank the God that placed thy state | A |
| Above the lowly but beneath the great | A |
| And still His name with gratitude revere | C |
| Who blessed the Sabbath of thy leisure here | D |
| - | |
| ON A RURAL SEAT | A |
| - | |
| Rest stranger in this decorated scene | E |
| That hangs its beds of flowers its slopes so green | E |
| So from the walks of life the weeds remove | F |
| But fix thy better hopes on scenes above | G |
| - | |
| ON THE FRONT OF A HERMITAGE NEAR A DIAL | H |
| - | |
| To mark life's few and fleeting hours | I |
| I placed the dial 'midst the flowers | I |
| Which one by one came forth and died | A |
| Still withering by its ancient side | A |
| Mortals let the sight impart | A |
| Its pensive moral to thy heart | A |
| - | |
| QUIETI ET MUSIS | I |
| - | |
| Be thine Retirement's peaceful joys | I |
| And a life that makes no noise | I |
| Save when Fancy musing long | J |
| Wakes her desultory song | J |
| Sounding to the vacant ear | D |
| Like the rill that murmurs near | C |
