| His head hid in a cloud of sensuall breath | A |
| By her sat furious anguish pale despight | B |
| Murmure and sorrowe and possest affright | B |
| Yellow corruption marrow eating care | C |
| Languor chill trembling fits irregulare | C |
| Inconstant choller public voic'd complaint | B |
| Relentles rigor and confusion faint | B |
| Frantick distemper and hare ey'd unrest | B |
| And short breath'd thirst with th' ever burning breast | B |
| A wreath of adders bound her trenched browes | D |
| Where torment ambush'd lay with all her throws | D |
| Marmarian lyons fring'd with flaming manes | D |
| Drew this grym furie and her brood of banes | D |
| Then burnt her bloud shot eyes her temples yet | B |
| Were cold as ice her neck all drown'd in swet | B |
| Palenes spred all her breast her life's heat stung | E |
| The mind's interpreter her scorched tongue | E |
| Flow'd with blew poison from her yawning mouth | F |
| Rheums fell like spouts fil'd from the stormy south | F |
| Her swoln throte rattled warm'd with life's last spark | G |
| And in her salt jawes painfull coughs did bark | G |
| Her teeth were stain'd with rust her sluttish hand | B |
| She held out reeking like a new quencht brand | B |
| In her left hand a quenchless fire did glow | H |
| And in her right palm freez'd Sithonian snow | H |
