| Her heart that weeps to hear of others' moan | F |
| To mine is stone | F |
| Her eyes that weep a stranger's eyes to see | E |

| As caused by them I love my smart | G |

| A frown may be sometimes for physic good | P |
| But not for food | Q |
| And for that raging humour there is sure | O |
| A gentler cure | O |
| Why bar you love of private end | J |
| Which never should to public tend | J |
