Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| My soul has suffered breaking on the wheel | A |
| Flogging with lead and felt the twinging ache | B |
| Of barb d hooks and jagged points of steel | A |
| Peine forte et dure slow burning at the stake | B |
| Blinding and branding stripping on the rack | C |
| The canque and kourbash and the torqu d screw | D |
| The boot and branks red scourging on the back | C |
| The gallows and the gibbet All for you | D |

| These tortures are as nothing to the pain | E |
| That I have suffered when you gaze at me | F |
| With cold disdainful eyes You do not deign | E |
| To smile or talk or even set me free | F |
| Yet once you let me hold your perfumed hand | G |
| And danced with me a stately saraband | G |
