| To build their hopes upon so short a lease | A |
| Vncertaine lease whose terme but once begun | B |
| Tels never when it ends till it be done | B |
| We dote upon thy smiles not knowing why | C |
| And whiles we but prepare to live we die | C |
| We spring like flowers for a daye's delight | D |
| At noone we flourish and we fade at night | D |

| We that were gods but now now lesse than men | E |
| If wisdome learning knowledge cannot dwell | F |
| Secure from change vaine bubble earth farewell | F |
