Rhyme Scheme: ABCABDEDEFGHGF| Thou lovely bud with many weeds surrounded | A |
| I once again address thee with a song | B |
| To cheer thee up 'gainst Envy's adder tongue | C |
| That deeply oft thy reputation wounded | A |
| And did thy tender blossom mickle wrong | B |
| But look thou up 'tis known in nature's law | D |
| That serpents seek the honey hoarding bee | E |
| Rosemary's sweets the loathsome toad will draw | D |
| So beauty curdles envy's look on thee | E |
| Fain would the peacock's tail the bow express | F |
| Which paints the clouds so sweet in April's rain | G |
| And just the same that imp of ugliness | H |
| Mimics thy lovely blossom but in vain | G |
| And fain would poison what he can't possess | F |
