| Self parleying and still on better times | I |
| Wrapt in fond thoughts whence only hope is fed | A |

| Nor much for self nor any common theme | K |
| Nor feel I in me nor without great heat | A |
| Two friends alone I ask and that the one | J |
| More merciful and meek to me may seem | K |
| The other well as erst and firm of feet | A |
