| 'Twas on the morn when heaven its blessed ray | A |
| In pity to its suffering master veil'd | C |
| First did I Lady to your beauty yield | D |
| Of your victorious eyes th' unguarded prey | A |
| Ah little reck'd I that on such a day | A |
| Needed against Love's arrows any shield | D |
| And trod securely trod the fatal field | D |
| Whence with the world's began my heart's dismay | A |
| On every side Love found his victim bare | A |
| And through mine eyes transfix'd my throbbing heart | E |
| Those eyes which now with constant sorrows flow | F |
| But poor the triumph of his boasted art | E |
| Who thus could pierce a naked youth nor dare | A |
| To you in armour mail'd even to display his bow | G |

| 'Twas on the blessed morning when the sun | H |
| In pity to our Maker hid his light | I |
| That unawares the captive I was won | H |
| Lady of your bright eyes which chain'd me quite | I |
| That seem'd to me no time against the blows | J |
| Of love to make defence to frame relief | K |
| Secure and unsuspecting thus my woes | J |
| Date their commencement from the common grief | K |
| Love found me feeble then and fenceless all | L |
| Open the way and easy to my heart | E |
| Through eyes where since my sorrows ebb and flow | F |
| But therein was methinks his triumph small | L |
| On me in that weak state to strike his dart | E |
| Yet hide from you so strong his very bow | G |
