Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EECC FFGG| Others I am not the first | A |
| Have willed more mischief than they durst | A |
| If in the breathless night I too | B |
| Shiver now 'tis nothing new | B |
| - | |
| More than I if truth were told | C |
| Have stood and sweated hot and cold | C |
| And through their reins in ice and fire | D |
| Fear contended with desire | D |
| - | |
| Agued once like me were they | E |
| But I like them shall win my way | E |
| Lastly to the bed of mould | C |
| Where there's neither heat nor cold | C |
| - | |
| But from my grave across my brow | F |
| Plays no wind of healing now | F |
| And fire and ice within me fight | G |
| Beneath the suffocating night | G |
