| 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 |
