Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBDECDFGFGFF| XXXII | A |
| - | |
| The first time that the sun rose on thine oath | B |
| To love me I looked forward to the moon | C |
| To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon | C |
| And quickly tied to make a lasting troth | B |
| Quick loving hearts I thought may quickly loathe | D |
| And looking on myself I seemed not one | E |
| For such man's love more like an out of tune | C |
| Worn viol a good singer would be wroth | D |
| To spoil his song with and which snatched in haste | F |
| Is laid down at the first ill sounding note | G |
| I did not wrong myself so but I placed | F |
| A wrong on thee For perfect strains may float | G |
| 'Neath master hands from instruments defaced | F |
| And great souls at one stroke may do and doat | F |
