Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEDEFGDDBDCAHH| NOw welcome night thou night so long expected | A |
| that long daies labour doest at last defray | B |
| And all my cares which cruell loue collected | A |
| Hast sumd in one and cancelled for aye | C |
| Spread thy broad wing ouer my loue and me | D |
| that no man may vs see | D |
| And in thy sable mantle vs enwrap | E |
| From feare of perrill and foule horror free | D |
| Let no false treason seeke vs to entrap | E |
| Nor any dread disquiet once annoy | F |
| the safety of our ioy | G |
| But let the night be calme and quietsome | D |
| Without tempestuous storms or sad afray | D |
| Lyke as when Ioue with fayre Alcmena lay | B |
| When he begot the great Tirynthian groome | D |
| Or lyke as when he with thy selfe did lie | C |
| And begot Maiesty | A |
| And let the mayds and yongmen cease to sing | H |
| Ne let the woods them answer nor theyr eccho ring | H |
