Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBCBDEFDGD| Forbear to deem the Chronicler unwise | A |
| Ungentle or untouched by seemly ruth | B |
| Who gathering up all that Time's envious tooth | B |
| Has spared of sound and grave realities | C |
| Firmly rejects those dazzling flatteries | C |
| Dear as they are to unsuspecting Youth | B |
| That might have drawn down Clio from the skies | C |
| To vindicate the majesty of truth | B |
| Such was her office while she walked with men | D |
| A Muse who not unmindful of her Sire | E |
| All ruling Jove whate'er the theme might be | F |
| Revered her Mother sage Mnemosyne | D |
| And taught her faithful servants how the lyre | G |
| Should animate but not mislead the pen | D |
