| Lonsdale it were unworthy of a Guest | B |
| Whose heart with gratitude to thee inclines | C |
| If he should speak by fancy touched of signs | C |
| On thy Abode harmoniously imprest | B |
| Yet be unmoved with wishes to attest | B |
| How in thy mind and moral frame agree | D |
| Fortitude and that Christian Charity | D |
| Which filling consecrates the human breast | B |

| As will be owned alike by bad and good | B |
| Soon as the measuring of life's little span | F |
| Shall place thy virtues out of Envy's reach | E |
