Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEEE FGFGGGHHH IJIJKKGGGGo and catch a falling star | A |
Get with child a mandrake root | B |
Tell me where all past years are | A |
Or who cleft the devil's foot | C |
Teach me to hear mermaids singing | D |
Or to keep off envy's stinging | D |
And find | E |
What wind | E |
Serves to advance an honest mind | E |

If thou be'st born to strange sights | F |
Things invisible to see | G |
Ride ten thousand days and nights | F |
Till age snow white hairs on thee | G |
Thou when thou return'st wilt tell me | G |
All strange wonders that befell thee | G |
And swear | H |
No where | H |
Lives a woman true and fair | H |

If thou find'st one let me know | I |
Such a pilgrimage were sweet | J |
Yet do not I would not go | I |
Though at next door we might meet | J |
Though she were true when you met her | K |
And last till you write your letter | K |
Yet she | G |
Will be | G |
False ere I come to two or three | G |
