| Since my hope's fruit yet faileth to arrive | C |
| And short the space vouchsafed me to survive | C |
| Betimes of this aware I fain would be | D |
| Swifter than light or wind from Love to flee | D |
| And I do flee him weak albeit and lame | E |
| O' my left side where passion racked my frame | E |
| Though now secure yet bear I on my face | F |
| Of the amorous encounter signal trace | F |
| Wherefore I counsel each this way who comes | G |
| Turn hence your footsteps and if Love consumes | H |
| Think not in present pain his worst is done | I |
| For though I live of thousand scapes not one | I |
