Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDEE| SInce I haue lackt the comfort of that light | A |
| The which was wont to lead my thoughts astray | B |
| I wander as in darkenesse of the night | A |
| affrayd of euery dangers least dismay | B |
| Ne ought I see though in the clearest day | B |
| when others gaze vpon theyr shadowes vayne | C |
| but th'onely image of that heauenly ray | B |
| whereof some glance doth in mine eie remayne | C |
| Of which beholding th'Idaea playne | C |
| throgh contemplation of my purest part | D |
| with light thereof I doe my selfe sustayne | C |
| and thereon feed my loue affamisht hart | D |
| But with such brightnesse whylest I fill my mind | E |
| I starue my body and mine eyes doe blynd | E |
