| My suit was this a poet to become | K |
| To drink with them and from the heavens be fed | L |
| Phoebus denied and sware there was no room | M |
| Such to be poets as fond fancy led | L |
| With that I mourned and sat me down to weep | N |
| Venus she smiled and smiling to me said | L |
| Come drink with me and sit thee still and sleep | N |
| This voice I heard and Venus I obeyed | O |
| That poison sweet hath done me all this wrong | P |
| For now of love must needs be all my song | P |
