Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCBCBDE| ARion when through tempests cruel wracke | A |
| He forth was thrown into the greedy seas | B |
| through the sweet musick which his harp did make | A |
| allu'rd a Dolphin him from death to ease | B |
| But my rude musick which was wont to please | B |
| some dainty eares cannot with any skill | C |
| the dreadfull tempest of her wrath appease | B |

| yet with one word she can it saue or spill | C |
| to spill were pitty but to saue were prayse | B |
| Chose rather to be praysd for dooing good | D |
| then to be blam'd for spilling guiltlesse blood | E |
