Rhyme Scheme: ABAACCDCEFFGDFDDDHH| Behold whiles she before the altar stands | A |
| Hearing the holy priest that to her speakes | B |
| And blesseth her with his two happy hands | A |
| How the red roses flush vp in her cheekes | A |
| And the pure snow with goodly vermill stayne | C |
| Like crimsin dyde in grayne | C |
| That euen th'Angels which continually | D |
| About the sacred Altare doe remaine | C |
| Forget their seruice and about her fly | E |
| Ofte peeping in her face that seemes more fayre | F |
| The more they on it stare | F |
| But her sad eyes still fastened on the ground | G |
| Are gouerned with goodly modesty | D |
| That suffers not one looke to glaunce awry | F |
| Which may let in a little thought vnsownd | D |
| Why blush ye loue to giue to me your hand | D |
| The pledge of all our band | D |
| Sing ye sweet Angels Alleluya sing | H |
| That all the woods may answere and your eccho ring | H |
