Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFBCGGHHII| Can I think the Guide of Heaven | A |
| Hath so beautifully given | A |
| Outward features 'cause He meant | B |
| To have made less excellent | C |
| Your divine part Or suppose | D |
| Beauty goodness doth oppose | D |
| Like those fools who do despair | E |
| To find any good and fair | E |
| Rather there I seek a mind | F |
| Most excelling where I find | F |
| God hath to the body lent | B |
| Most beseeming ornament | C |
| And I do believe it true | G |
| That as we the body view | G |
| Nearer to perfection grow | H |
| So the soul herself doth show | H |
| Other more and more excelling | I |
| In her powers as in her dwelling | I |
