Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCEFF| Ah why hath nature to so hard a hart | A |
| giuen so goodly giftes of beauties grace | B |
| whose pryde depraues each other better part | A |
| and all those pretious ornaments deface | B |
| Sith to all other beastes of bloody race | B |
| a dreadfull countenaunce she giuen hath | C |
| that with theyr terrour al the rest may chace | B |
| and warne to shun the daunger of theyr wrath | C |
| But my proud one doth worke the greater scath | C |
| through sweet allurement of her louely hew | D |
| that she the better may in bloody bath | C |
| of such poore thralls her cruell hands embrew | E |
| But did she know how ill these two accord | F |
| such cruelty she would haue soone abhord | F |
