Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDDEEFFGGHI| This is to the crown and blessing of my life | A |
| The much loved husband of a happy wife | A |
| To him whose constant passion found the art | B |
| To win a stubborn and ungrateful heart | B |
| And to the world by tenderest proof discovers | C |
| They err who say that husbands can't be lovers | C |
| With such return of passion as is due | D |
| Daphnis I love Daphinis my thoughts pursue | D |
| Daphnis my hopes and joys are bounded all in you | D |
| Even I for Daphnis' and my promise' sake | E |
| What I in woman censure undertake | E |
| But this from love not vanity proceeds | F |
| You know who writes and I who 'tis that reads | F |
| Judge not my passion by my want of skill | G |
| Many love well though they express it ill | G |
| And I your censure could with pleasure bear | H |
| Would you but soon return and speak it here | I |
