Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDEEFGHII| This holy season fit to fast and pray | A |
| Men to devotion ought to be inclin'd | B |
| Therefore I likewise on so holy day | A |
| For my sweet saint some service fit will find | B |
| Her temple fair is built within my mind | B |
| In which her glorious image placed is | C |
| On which my thoughts do day and night attend | D |
| Like sacred priests that never think amiss | E |
| There I to her as th' author of my bliss | E |
| Will build an altar to appease her ire | F |
| And on the same my heart will sacrifice | G |
| Burning in flames of pure and chaste desire | H |
| The which vouchsafe O goddess to accept | I |
| Amongst thy dearest relics to be kept | I |
