Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDAA| O might those sighes and teares returne againe | A |
| Into my breast and eyes which I have spent | B |
| That I might in this holy discontent | B |
| Mourne with some fruit as I have mourn'd in vaine | A |
| In mine Idolatry what showres of raine | A |
| Mine eyes did waste what griefs my heart did rent | B |
| That sufferance was my sinne now I repent | B |
| 'Cause I did sufffer I must suffer paine | A |
| Th'hydroptique drunkard and night scouting thiefe | C |
| The itchy Lecher and selfe tickling proud | D |
| Have the remembrance of past joyes for reliefe | C |
| Of comming ills To poore me is allow'd | D |
| No ease for long yet vehement griefe hath beene | A |
| Th'effect and cause the punishment and sinne | A |
