Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA CDDCC EFFGE| Kill me not ev'ry day | A |
| Thou Lord of life since thy one death for me | B |
| Is more than all my deaths can be | B |
| Though I in broken pay | A |
| Die over each hour of Methusalem's stay | A |
| - | |
| If all men's tears were let | C |
| Into one common sewer sea and brine | D |
| What were they all compar'd to thine | D |
| Wherein if they were set | C |
| They would discolour thy most bloody sweat | C |
| - | |
| Thou art my grief alone | E |
| Thou Lord conceal it not and as thou art | F |
| All my delight so all my smart | F |
| Thy cross took up in one | G |
| By way of imprest all my future moan | E |
