Rhyme Scheme: AB CDEFGHIIJKELMNOP| FORMING A COLD BATH AT COOMBE NEAR DONHEAD BELONGING TO MY BROTHER | A |
| CHAS BOWLES ESQ | B |
| - | |
| Fountain that sparklest through the shady place | C |
| Making a soft sad murmur o'er the stones | D |
| That strew thy lucid way Oh if some guest | E |
| Should haply wander near with slow disease | F |
| Smitten may thy cold springs the rose of health | G |
| Bring back and the quick lustre to his eye | H |
| The ancient oaks that on thy margin wave | I |
| The song of birds and through the rocky cave | I |
| The clear stream gushing their according sounds | J |
| Should mingle and like some strange music steal | K |
| Sadly yet soothing o'er his aching breast | E |
| And thou pale exile from thy native shores | L |
| Here drink oh couldst thou as of Lethe's stream | M |
| Nor friends nor bleeding country nor the views | N |
| Of hills or streams beloved nor vesper bell | O |
| Heard in the twilight vale remember more | P |
