| She issues radiant from her dressing room | B |
| Like one prepared to scale an upper sphere | C |
| By stirring up a lower much I fear | C |
| How deftly that oiled barber lays his bloom | B |
| That long shanked dapper Cupid with frisked curls | D |
| Can make known women torturingly fair | E |
| The gold eyed serpent dwelling in rich hair | E |
| Awakes beneath his magic whisks and twirls | D |
| His art can take the eyes from out my head | F |
| Until I see with eyes of other men | G |
| While deeper knowledge crouches in its den | G |
| And sends a spark up is it true we are wed | F |
| Yea filthiness of body is most vile | H |
| But faithlessness of heart I do hold worse | I |
| The former it were not so great a curse | I |
| To read on the steel mirror of her smile | H |
