| We paint the devil foul yet he | A |
| Hath some good in him all agree | A |

| It wants the good of virtue and of being | B |

| But God more care of us hath had | C |
| If apparitions make us sad | C |
| By sight of sin we should grow mad | C |
| Yet as in sleep we see foul death and live | D |
| So devils are our sins in perspective | E |
