Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFFECC| My God where is that ancient heat towards thee | A |
| Wherewith whole showls of Martyrs once did burn | B |
| Besides their other flames Doth Poetry | A |
| Wear Venus livery only serve her turn | B |
| Why are not Sonnets made of thee and layes | C |
| Upon thine Altar burnt Cannot thy love | D |
| Heighten a spirit to sound out thy praise | C |
| As well as any she Cannot thy Dove | D |
| Out strip their Cupid easily in flight | E |
| Or since thy wayes are deep and still the fame | F |
| Will not a verse run smooth that bears thy name | F |
| Why doth that fire which by thy power and might | E |
| Each breast does feel no braver fuel choose | C |
| Than that which one day Worms may chance refuse | C |
