| Whilst my physicians by their love are grown | D |
| Cosmographers and I their map who lie | E |
| Flat on this bed that by them may be shown | D |

| We think that Paradise and Calvary | F |
| Christ's cross and Adam's tree stood in one place | M |
| Look Lord and find both Adams met in me | F |
| As the first Adam's sweat surrounds my face | M |
| May the last Adam's blood my soul embrace | M |
| - | |
| So in his purple wrapp'd receive me Lord | N |
| By these his thorns give me his other crown | O |
| And as to others' souls I preach'd thy word | P |
| Be this my text my sermon to mine own | D |
| 'Therefore that he may raise the Lord throws down ' | - |
