Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBABDBDBEF| Alas so all things now do hold their peace | A |
| Heaven and earth disturbed in nothing | B |
| The beasts the air the birds their song do cease | A |
| The night e s chare the stars about doth bring | B |
| Calm is the sea the waves work less and less | C |
| So am not I whom love alas doth wring | B |
| Bringing before my face the great increase | A |
| Of my desires whereat I weep and sing | B |
| In joy and woe as in a doubtful ease | D |
| For my sweet thoughts sometime do pleasure bring | B |
| But by and by the cause of my disease | D |
| Gives me a pang that inwardly doth sting | B |
| When that I think what grief it is again | E |
| To live and lack the thing should rid my pain | F |
