| Florence whom I will love as well | F |
| As ever yet was said or sung | G |

| Sweet Florence those were pleasant times | H |
| When worlds were staked for ladies' | I |
| Had bards as many realms as rhymes | H |

| Yet by thine eyes and ringlets curl'd | K |
| I cannot lose a world for thee | J |
| But would not lose thee for a world | K |
