| Since then thy looks my life have so in thrall | L |
| As I can like none other looks but thine | M |
| Lo here I yield my life my love and all | L |
| Into thy hands and all things else resign | M |
| But liberty to gaze upon thine eyen | M |
| Which when I do then think it were thy part | N |
| To look again and link with me in heart | N |
