Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| How pleased within my native bowers | A |
| Erewhile I pass'd the day | B |
| Was ever scene so deck'd with flowers | A |
| Were ever flowers so gay | B |
| - | |
| How sweetly smiled the hill the vale | C |
| And all the landscape round | D |
| The river gliding down the dale | C |
| The hill with beeches crown'd | D |

| But now when urged by tender woes | E |
| I speed to meet my dear | F |
| That hill and stream my zeal oppose | E |
| And check my fond career | F |
| - | |
| No more since Daphne was my theme | G |
| Their wonted charms I see | H |
| That verdant hill and silver stream | G |
| Divide my love and me | H |
