You bid me try by Austin Dobson. Read for Librivox.org by Winston Tharp. You bid me try, blue eyes, to ride a rondo. What, forthwith, tonight? Reflect. Some skill I have'd is true, but thirteen lines, and rhymed on two. Refrain as well. Ah, hapless plight. Still, there are five lines. Ranged aright. These gallic bonds I feared would fright my easy muse.

They did, till you, you bid me try. That makes them eight, the ports in sight. Tis all because your eyes are bright. Now just a pair to end in ooh. When maid's command what can't we do? Behold, the rondo, tasteful, light. You bid me try.
