Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFFFGGEEHH BBEBBIIBBII| Partiall devourer ever of the best | A |
| With headlong rapture sparing long the rest | A |
| Could not the precious teares his father shed | B |
| That are with kingdomes to be ransomed | B |
| His bleeding prayer upon his knees t' implore | C |
| That if for any sin of his Heaven tore | C |
| From his most royall body that chief limme | D |
| It might be ransom'd for the rest of him | D |
| Could not the sacred eies thou didst prophane | E |
| In his great mother's teares the spightful bane | E |
| Thou pour'dst upon the cheekes of all the Graces | F |
| In his most gracious sister's the defaces | F |
| With all the furies' overflowing galles | F |
| Cursedly fronting her neere nuptials | F |
| Could not O could not the Almighty ruth | G |
| Of all these force thee to forbeare the youth | G |
| Of our incomparable Prince of men | E |

| T' eternise what it now doth murder meerely | H |
| And shall have from my soule my curses yeerely | H |
| Tyrant what knew'st thou but the barbarouswound | B |
| Thou gav'st the son the father might confound | B |
| Both liv'd so mixtly and were joyntly one | E |
| Spirit to spirit cleft the humor bred | B |
| In one heart straight was with the other fed | B |
| The blood of one the other s heart did fire | I |
| The heart and humour were the son and sire | I |
| The heart yet void of humour's slender'st part | B |
| May easier live than humour without heart | B |
| The river needes the helpfull fountaine ever | I |
| More then the fountaine the supplyed river | I |
