Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABBBBCCOh to vex me contraryes meet in one | A |
Inconstancy unnaturally hath begott | B |
A constant habit that when I would not | B |
I change in vowes and in devotione | A |
As humorous is my contritione | A |
As my prophane Love and as soone forgott | B |
As ridlingly distemper'd cold and hott | B |
As praying as mute as infinite as none | A |
I durst not view heaven yesterday and to day | B |
In prayers and flattering speaches I court God | B |
To morrow I quake with true feare of his rod | B |
So my devout fitts come and go away | B |
Like a fantistique Ague save that here | C |
Those are my best dayes when I shake with feare | C |
