Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEAA FFGGHH| Love wing'd my Hopes and taught me how to fly | A |

| Lives in measure | B |
| Which if men forsake | C |
| Blinded they into folly run and grief for pleasure take | C |

| But my vain Hopes proud of their new taught flight | D |
| Enamour'd sought to woo the sun's fair light | D |
| Whose rich brightness | E |

| To aspire so high | A |
| That all scorch'd and consumed with fire now drown'd in woe they lie | A |

| And none but Love their woeful hap did rue | F |
| For Love did know that their desires were true | F |
| Though fate frown egrave d | G |
| And now drown egrave d | G |
| They in sorrow dwell | H |
| It was the purest light of heav'n for whose fair love they fell | H |
