| My Gracia who hath so deserted me | B |
| Thou art my friend but if thou dost defame her | A |
| I shall not hesitate to challenge thee | B |
| 'Curse and forget her ' So I might another | A |
| One not so bounteous natured or so fair | C |
| But she Antonio she was like no other | A |
| I curse her not because she was so rare | C |
| She was made out of laughter and sweet kisses | D |

| Would slay her and her newer love maybe | D |
| But since she seeks Apollo or another | A |
| Of those lost gods and seeks him all in vain | G |
| And has loved me as well as any other | A |
| Of her men loves why I do not complain | G |
