Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCCCCDD| LOng while I sought to what I might compare | A |
| those powrefull eies which lighte n my dark spright | B |
| yet find I nought on earth to which I dare | A |
| resemble th'ymage of their goodly light | B |
| Not to the Sun for they doo shine by night | B |
| nor to the Moone for they are changed neuer | C |
| nor to the Starres for they haue purer sight | B |
| nor to the fire for they consume not euer | C |
| Nor to the lightning for they still persuer | C |
| nor to the Diamond for they are more tender | C |
| nor vnto Christall for nought may them seuer | C |
| nor vnto glasse such basenesse mought offend her | C |
| Then to the Maker selfe they likest be | D |
| whose light doth lighten all that here we see | D |
