Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDEE| ONe day as I vnwarily did gaze | A |
| on those fayre eyes my loues immortall light | B |
| the whiles my stonisht hart stood in amaze | A |
| through sweet illusion of her lookes delight | B |
| I mote perceiue how in her glauncing sight | B |
| legions of loues with little wings did fly | C |
| darting their deadly arrowes fyry bright | B |
| at euery rash beholder passing by | C |
| One of those archers closely I did spy | C |
| ayming his arrow at my very hart | D |
| when suddenly with twincle of her eye | C |
| the Damzell broke his misintended dart | D |
| Had she not so doon sure I had bene slayne | E |
| yet as it was I hardly scap't with paine | E |
