Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIJI BKBK LMLM| If I were dead and in my place | A |
| Some fresher youth designed | B |
| To warm thee with new fires and grace | A |
| Those arms I left behind | B |
| - | |
| Were he as faithful as the Sun | C |
| That's wedded to the Sphere | D |
| His blood as chaste and temperate run | C |
| As April's mildest tear | E |

| And spacious share of earth | G |
| Could make divine affection cheap | F |
| And court his golden birth | G |
| - | |
| For all these arts I'd not believe | H |
| No though he should be thine | I |
| The mighty Amorist could give | J |
| So rich a heart as mine | I |
| - | |
| Fortune and beauty thou might'st find | B |
| And greater men than I | K |
| But my true resolved mind | B |
| They never shall come nigh | K |
| - | |
| For I not for an hour did love | L |
| Or for a day desire | M |
| But with my soul had from above | L |
| This endless holy fire | M |
