Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Not without fire can any workman mould | A |
| The iron to his preconceived design | B |
| Nor can the artist without fire refine | B |
| And purify from all its dross the gold | A |
| Nor can revive the phoenix we are told | A |
| Except by fire Hence if such death be mine | B |
| I hope to rise again with the divine | B |
| Whom death augments and time cannot make old | A |
| O sweet sweet death O fortunate fire that burns | C |
| Within me still to renovate my days | D |
| Though I am almost numbered with the dead | E |
| If by its nature unto heaven returns | C |
| This element me kindled in its blaze | D |
| Will it bear upward when my life is fled | E |
