| What I have treasur'd in my memory | B |
| Since if my soul make even with the week | A |
| Each seventh note by right is due to thee | B |
| I find there quarries of pil'd vanities | C |
| But shreds of holiness that dare not venture | D |
| To show their face since cross to thy decrees | C |
| There the circumference earth is heav'n the centre | D |
| In so much dregs the quintessence is small | E |
| The spirit and good extract of my heart | F |
| Comes to about the many hundredth part | F |
| Yet Lord restore thine image hear my call | E |
| And though my hard heart scarce to thee can groan | G |
| Remember that thou once didst write in stone | G |
