Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| I know the face of Falsehood and her Tongue | A |
| Honeyed with unction Plausible with guile | B |
| Are dear to men whom count me not among | A |
| That owe their daily credit to her smile | B |
| Such have been succoured out of great distress | C |
| By her contriving if accounts be true | D |

| Nor force an entrance past mephitic airs | G |
| Of stale patchoulie hanging on my stairs | G |
