Rhyme Scheme: ABCAD ACBACEEC FGGF| He said he loved me Then he called my hair | A |
| Silk threads wherewith sly Cupid strings his bow | B |
| My cheek a rose leaf fallen on new snow | C |
| And swore my round full throat would bring despair | A |
| To Venus or to Psyche | D |
| - | |
| Time and care | A |
| Will fade these locks the merry god I know | C |
| Uses no grizzled cords upon his bow | B |
| How will it be when I no longer fair | A |
| Plead for his kiss with cheeks whence long ago | C |
| The early snowflakes melted quite away | E |
| The rose leaf died and in whose sallow clay | E |
| Lie the deep sunken tracks of life s gaunt crow | C |
| - | |
| When this full throat shall wattle fold on fold | F |
| Like some ripe peach left drying on a wall | G |
| Or like a spent accordion when all | G |
| Its music has exhaled will love grow cold | F |
