Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDBEE FGHIIGJJ KLKMMLNN OPOQQPRR STUVVWAA| See with what simplicity | A |
| This nymph begins her golden days | B |
| In the green grass she loves to lie | C |
| And there with her fair aspect tames | D |
| The wilder flowers and gives them names | D |
| But only with the roses plays | B |
| And them does tell | E |
| What colour best becomes them and what smell | E |
| - | |
| Who can foretell for what high cause | F |
| This darling of the gods was born | G |
| Yet this is she whose chaster laws | H |
| The wanton Love shall one day fear | I |
| And under her command severe | I |
| See his bow broke and ensigns torn | G |
| Happy who can | J |
| Appease this virtuous enemy of man | J |
| - | |
| O then let me in time compound | K |
| And parley with those conquering eyes | L |
| Ere they have tried their force to wound | K |
| Ere with their glancing wheels they drive | M |
| In triumph over hearts that strive | M |
| And them that yield but more despise | L |
| Let me be laid | N |
| Where I may see the glories from some shade | N |
| - | |
| Meantime whilst every verdant thing | O |
| Itself does at thy beauty charm | P |
| Reform the errors of the Spring | O |
| Make that the tulips may have share | Q |
| Of sweetness seeing they are fair | Q |
| And roses of their thorns disarm | P |
| But most procure | R |
| That violets may a longer age endure | R |
| - | |
| But O young beauty of the woods | S |
| Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers | T |
| Gather the flowers but spare the buds | U |
| Lest Flora angry at thy crime | V |
| To kill her infants in their prime | V |
| Do quickly make th' example yours | W |
| And ere we see | A |
| Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee | A |
