| Then when the ghastly twelve was past | M |
| We breath'd still for a blushing East | N |
| And bade the lazy sun make haste | O |
| And on sure hopes though long did feast | N |

| But when we saw the clouds to crack | P |
| And in those crannies light appear'd | Q |
| We thought the day then was not slack | P |
| And pleas'd ourselves with what we fear'd | Q |

| Just so it is in death But thou | R |
| Shalt in thy mother's bosom sleep | S |
| Whilst I each minute groan to know | T |
| How near Redemption creeps | U |

| Then shall wee meet to mix again and met | V |
| 'Tis last good night our Sun shall never set | V |
