| IF her disdain least change in you can move | B |
| You do not love | C |
| For when that hope gives fuel to the fire | D |
| You sell desire | D |
| Love is not love but given free | E |
| And so is mine so should yours be | E |

| 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 |
| Joy to wound me | E |
| Yet I so well affect each part | G |
| As caused by them I love my smart | G |

| Say her disdainings justly must be graced | H |
| With name of chaste | H |
| And that she frowns lest longing should exceed | I |
| And raging breed | I |
| So her disdains can ne'er offend | J |
| Unless self love take private end | J |

| 'Tis love breeds love in me and cold disdain | K |
| Kills that again | L |

| Who can of love more rich gift make | N |
| That to Love's self for love's own sake | N |

| I'll never dig in quarry of an heart | G |
| To have no part | G |
| Nor roast in fiery eyes which always are | O |
| Canicular | O |
| Who this way would a lover prove | B |
| May show his patience not his love | C |
| - | |
| 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 |
