| - | |
| And therefore if to love can be desert | B |
| I am not all unworthy Cheeks as pale | C |
| As these you see and trembling knees that fail | C |
| To bear the burden of a heavy heart | D |
| This weary minstrel life that once was girt | B |
| To climb Aornus and can scarce avail | C |
| To pipe now 'gainst the valley nightingale | C |
| A melancholy music why advert | B |
| To these things O Beloved it is plain | E |
| I am not of thy worth nor for thy place | F |
| And yet because I love thee I obtain | E |
| From that same love this vindicating grace | F |
| To live on still in love and yet in vain | E |
| To bless thee yet renounce thee to thy face | F |
