Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCDDEEFF| GOE glorious saint I knew 'twas not a shrine | A |
| Of flesh could lodge so pure a soule as thine | A |
| I saw it labour in a holy scorne | A |
| Of living dust and ashes to be swome | B |
| A heavenly quirister it sigh'd and groan'd | C |
| To be dissolv'd from mortall and enthron'd | C |
| Among his fellow angels there to sing | D |
| Perpetuall anthems to his heavenly King | D |

| Miscall'd it his and onely zeale did make | F |
| Him love the building for the builder's sake | F |
