| These two whole years | B |
| By man of fortitude beyond his peers | B |
| In Thrace or Macedon | A |
| - | |
| No none | A |
| But what deep trouble does my Lycon feel | C |
| And hide 'neath chat about the commonweal | C |
| - | |
| Glauc but now the third time did again | A |
| The thing which I forbade I had to box her ears | B |
| 'Twas ill to see her both blue eyes | D |

| Despairing on the skies | D |
| And the poor lip all pucker'd into pain | A |
| Yet for her sake from kisses to refrain | A |
| - | |
| Ho Timocles take down | A |
| That crown | A |
| No not that common one for blood with extreme valour spilt | F |
| But yonder with the berries gilt | F |
| 'Tis Lycon thy just meed | F |
| To inflict unmoved | F |
| And firm to bear the woes of the Beloved | F |
| Is fortitude indeed | F |
