| Sure Lord there is enough in thee to dry | B |
| Oceans of Ink for as the Deluge did | C |
| Cover the Earth so doth thy Majesty | D |
| Each Cloud distills thy praise and doth forbid | C |
| Poets to turn it to another use | E |
| Roses and Lillies speak thee and to make | F |
| A pair of Cheeks of them is thy abuse | E |
| Why should I Womens eyes for Chrystal take | F |
| Such poor invention burns in their low mind | G |
| Whose fire is wild and doth not upward go | A |
| To praise and on thee Lord some Ink bestow | A |
| Open the bones and you shall nothing find | G |
| In the best face but filth when Lord in thee | D |
| The beauty lies in the discovery | D |
