| O LOVELY hand that thy sweet self dost lave | C |
| In that thy pure and proper element | B |
| Whence erst the Lady of Love's high adv nt | B |
| Was born and endless fires sprang from the wave | C |
| Even as her Loves to her their offerings gave | C |
| For thee the jewelled gifts they bear while each | E |
| Looks to those lips of music measured speech | E |
| The fount and of more bliss than man may crave | C |
| In royal wise ring girt and bracelet spann'd | B |
| A flower of Venus' own virginity | B |
| Go shine among thy sisterly sweet band | B |
| In maiden minded converse delicately | B |
| Evermore white and soft until thou be | B |
| O hand heart handsel'd in a lover's hand | B |
