| The great and grievous vanity of joy and pain | B |
| Frail loves that pass where languors infinite remain | B |
| Fervors and long despairs and desperate brief delights | A |
| - | |
| Knowing how in the witless brains of them that were | C |
| The drowsy wiving worm hath prospered and hath died | D |

| Knowing the vacillant leaves that tremble flame and fall | E |
| The sweetly wasting rose the dawns and stars that wane | B |
| Knowing these things the desolate heart and soul are fain | B |
| Of the one perfect sleep which filleth foldeth all | E |
