Rhyme Scheme: ABABC DEFEE EGEGG EEEEE| Cou'd we stop the time that's flying | A |
| Or recall itt when 'tis past | B |
| Put far off the day of Dying | A |
| Or make Youth for ever last | B |
| To Love wou'd then be worth our cost | C |
| - | |
| But since we must loose those Graces | D |
| Which at first your hearts have wonne | E |
| And you seek for in new Faces | F |
| When our Spring of Life is done | E |
| It wou'd but urdge our ruine on | E |
| - | |
| Free as Nature's first intention | E |
| Was to make us I'll be found | G |
| Nor by subtle Man's invention | E |
| Yeild to be in Fetters bound | G |
| By one that walks a freer round | G |
| - | |
| Mariage does but slightly tye Men | E |
| Whil'st close Pris'ners we remain | E |
| They the larger Slaves of Hymen | E |
| Still are begging Love again | E |
| At the full length of all their chain | E |
