Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGDDHIJJ| How long vain Hope do'st thou my joys suspend | A |
| Say must my expectation know no end | A |
| Thou wast more kind unto the wandring Greek | B |
| Who did ten years his Wife and Country seek | B |
| Ten lazy Winters in my glass are run | C |
| Yet my thoughts travail seems but new begun | C |
| Smooth Quick sand which the easy World beguiles | D |
| Thou shalt not bury me in thy false smiles | D |
| They that in hunting shadowes pleasure take | E |
| May benefit of thy illusion make | E |
| Since thou hast banisht me from my content | F |
| I here pronounce thy finall banishment | G |
| Farewell thou dream of nothing thou meer voice | D |
| Get thee to fooles that can feed fat with noise | D |
| Bid wretches markt for death look for reprieve | H |
| Or men broke on the wheel perswade to live | I |
| Henceforth my comfort and best Hope shall be | J |
| By scorning Hope nere to rely on thee | J |
