Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEDFDF| XXXVII | A |
| - | |
| Pardon oh pardon that my soul should make | B |
| Of all that strong divineness which I know | C |
| For thine and thee an image only so | C |
| Formed of the sand and fit to shift and break | B |
| It is that distant years which did not take | B |
| Thy sovranty recoiling with a blow | C |
| Have forced my swimming brain to undergo | C |
| Their doubt and dread and blindly to forsake | B |
| Thy purity of likeness and distort | D |
| Thy worthiest love to a worthless counterfeit | E |
| As if a shipwrecked Pagan safe in port | D |
| His guardian sea god to commemorate | F |
| Should set a sculptured porpoise gills a snort | D |
| And vibrant tail within the temple gate | F |
