Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHFG| O fly my soul what hangs upon | A |
| Thy drooping wings | B |
| And weighs them down | C |
| With love of gaudy mortal things | B |
| - | |
| The Sun is now i' the east each shade | D |
| As he doth rise | E |
| Is shorter made | D |
| That earth may lessen to our eyes | E |

| Oh be not careless then and play | F |
| Until the star of peace | G |
| Hide all his beams in dark recess | H |
| Poor pilgrims needs must lose their way | F |
| When all the shadows do increase | G |
