| What smouldering senses in death's sick delay | B |
| Or seizure of malign vicissitude | C |
| Can rob this body of honour or denude | C |
| This soul of wedding raiment worn to day | B |
| For lo even now my lady's lips did play | B |
| With these my lips such consonant interlude | C |
| As laurelled Orpheus longed for when he wooed | C |
| The half drawn hungering face with that last lay | B |
| I was a child beneath her touch a man | D |
| When breast to breast we clung even I and she | E |
| A spirit when her spirit looked through me | E |
| A god when all our life breath met to fan | D |
| Our life blood till love's emulous ardours ran | D |
| Fire within fire desire in deity | E |
