Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBBCBDBEE| LADIES who of my lord would fain be told | A |
| Picture a gentle knight full sweet to see | B |
| Though young in years in wisdom passing old | A |
| Model of glory and of valiancy | B |
| Fair haired bright colour glowing in his face | B |
| Tall and well set broad shouldered finally | B |
| In all his parts a paragon of grace | B |
| Except in loving wantonly ah me | B |
| Who'd know myself picture a woman wrought | C |
| In passion and in presence after pain's | B |
| And death's own bitter images a port | D |
| Of safety where untroubled rest remains | B |
| One who with neither tears nor sighs nor zest | E |
| Wakes pity in her cruel lover's breast | E |
