Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEDEFF| O might those sighs and tears return again | A |
| Into my breast and eyes which I have spent | B |
| That I might in this holy discontent | B |
| Mourn with some fruit as I have mourned in vain | C |
| In mine Idolatry what showers of rain | C |
| Mine eyes did waste what griefs my heart did rent | B |
| That sufferance was my sin now I repent | B |
| 'Cause I did suffer I must suffer pain | C |
| Th' hydropic drunkard and night scouting thief | D |
| The itchy lecher and self tickling proud | E |
| Have the remembrance of past joys for relief | D |
| Of comming ills To poor me is allowed | E |
| No ease for long yet vehement grief hath been | F |
| Th' effect and cause the punishment and sin | F |
