Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGHGBIBI JFKFDEDE| Midsummer night not dark not light | A |
| Dusk all the scented air | B |
| I'll e'en go forth to one I love | C |
| And learn how he doth fare | B |
| O the ring the ring my dear for me | D |
| The ring was a world too fine | E |

| The ring was a world too fine | E |
| And would it had sunk in a forty fathom sea | D |
| Ere the morn that made it mine | E |
