| But this coarse fleece | B |

| Such though not proud nor full | F |
| May make them weep | G |
| And mourn to see the wool | F |
| Outlast the sheep | G |
| Poor pious wear | H |
| Hadst thou been rich or fine | I |
| Perhaps that tear | H |
| Had mourn'd thy loss not mine | I |

| Why then these curl'd puff'd points | J |
| Or a laced story | K |
| Death sets all out of joint | L |
| And scorns their glory | K |
| Some love a rose | M |
| In hand some in the skin | N |
| But cross to those | M |
| I would have mine within | N |
