Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAAB CDEFED| Long life hath taught me many things and shown | A |
| That lukewarm loves for men who die are best | B |
| Weak wine of liking let them mix alone | A |
| Not Love that stings the soul within the breast | B |
| Happy who wears his love bonds lightliest | B |
| Now cherished now away at random thrown | A |
| Grievous it is for other's grief to moan | A |
| Hard that my soul for thine should lose her rest | B |
| - | |
| Wise ruling this of life but yet again | C |
| Perchance too rigid diet is not well | D |
| He lives not best who dreads the coming pain | E |
| And shunneth each delight desirable | F |
| FLEE THOU EXTREMES this word alone is plain | E |
| Of all that God hath given to Man to spell | D |
