| The cruellest form of perfect scorn | D |
| With languor of most hateful smiles | E |
| For ever write | B |

| Of the tearless eye | H |
| And epitaph that all may spy | H |
| No sooner she herself shall die | H |

| Her light shall into darkness change | J |
| For her the green grass shall not spring | C |
| Nor the rivers flow nor the sweet birds sing | C |
| Till Love have his full revenge | K |
