Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCCCCDD| TRust not the treason of those smyling lookes | A |
| vntill ye haue theyr guylefull traynes well tryde | B |
| for they are lyke but vnto golden hookes | A |
| that from the foolish fish theyr bayts doe hyde | B |
| So she with flattring smyles weake harts doth guyde | B |
| vnto her loue and tempte to theyr decay | C |
| whome being caught she kills with cruell pryde | B |
| and feeds at pleasure on the wretched pray | C |
| Yet euen whylst her bloody hands them slay | C |
| her eyes looke louely and vpon them smyle | C |
| that they take pleasure in her cruell play | C |
| and dying doe them selues of payne beguyle | C |
| O mighty charm which makes men loue theyr bane | D |
| and thinck they dy with pleasure liue with payne | D |
