Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAD EFGG HIHI| When Death from some fair face | A |
| Is stealing life away | B |
| All weep save she the grace | A |
| That earth shall lose today | B |
| - | |
| When Time from some fair face | A |
| Steals beauty year by year | C |
| For her slow fading grace | A |
| Who sheds save she a tear | D |

| And Death not often dares | E |
| To wake the world's distress | F |
| While Time the cunning mars | G |
| Surely all loveliness | G |
| - | |
| Yet though by breath and breath | H |
| Fades all thy fairest prime | I |
| Men shrink from cruel Death | H |
| But honor crafty Time | I |
