Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDECCE FFBGGB| What time the poet hath hymned | A |
| The writhing maid lithe limbed | A |

| Knowing as well he knows | C |
| That all can be set right with calomel | B |

| When from the poet's plinth | D |
| The amorous colocynth | D |
| Yearns for the aloe faint with rapturous thrills | E |

| That they are only uncompounded pills | E |

| Something poetic lurks | G |
| Even in colocynth and calomel | B |
