Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDCDBBSince she whom I loved hath paid her last debt | A |
To Nature and to hers and my good is dead | B |
And her soul early into heaven ravished | B |
Wholly on heavenly things my mind is set | B |
here the admiring her my mind did whet | B |
To seek thee God so streams do show the head | B |
But though I have found thee and thou my thirst hast fed | B |
a holy thristy dropsy melts me yet | B |
But why should I beg more love whenas thou | C |
Dost woo my soul for hers offering all thine | D |
And dost not only fear lest I allow | C |
My love to saints and angels things divine | D |
but in they tender jealousy dost doubt | B |
lest the world flesh yea devil put thee out | B |
