Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEF| YOUNG ENGLAND what is then become of Old | A |
| Of dear Old England Think they she is dead | B |
| Dead to the very name Presumption fed | B |
| On empty air That name will keep its hold | A |
| In the true filial bosom's inmost fold | A |
| For ever The Spirit of Alfred at the head | B |
| Of all who for her rights watched toiled and bled | B |
| Knows that this prophecy is not too bold | A |
| What how shall she submit in will and deed | C |
| To Beardless Boys an imitative race | D |
| The 'servum pecus' of a Gallic breed | C |
| Dear Mother if thou 'must' thy steps retrace | D |
| Go where at least meek Innocency dwells | E |
| Let Babes and Sucklings be thy oracles | F |
