Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| You virgins that did late despair | A |
| To keep your wealth from cruel men | B |
| Tie up in silk your careless hair | A |
| Soft peace is come again | B |
| - | |
| Now lovers' eyes may gently shoot | C |
| A flame that will not kill | D |
| The drum was angry but the lute | C |
| Shall whisper what you will | D |

| Sing Io Io for his sake | E |
| That hath restored your drooping heads | F |
| With choice of sweetest flowers make | E |
| A garden where he treads | F |
| - | |
| Whilst we whole groves of laurel bring | G |
| A petty triumph for his brow | H |
| Who is the master of our spring | G |
| And all the bloom we owe | I |
