| Like Chiefs of Faction | E |
| His life is action | E |
| A formal paction | E |
| That curbs his reign | E |

| Wait not fond lover | B |
| Till years are over | B |

| As from a dream | L |
| While each bewailing | D |
| The other's failing | D |
| With wrath and railing | D |
| All hideous seem | L |
| While first decreasing | D |

| And eyes the mirrors | V |
| Of your sweet errors | V |
| Reflect but rapture not least though last | U |

| From such have risen | E |
| But yet remaining | D |
| What is't but chaining | D |
| Hearts which once waning | D |
| Beat 'gainst their prison | E |
| Time can but cloy love | X |
| And use destroy love | X |
| The wing d boy Love | X |
| Is but for boys | W |
| You'll find it torture | B |
| Though sharper shorter | B |
| To wean and not wear out your joys | W |
