Rhyme Scheme: AABCBBBDDEEDDDDFGBB| Hence all you vain delights | A |
| As short as are the nights | A |
| Wherein you spend your folly | B |
| There's nought in this life sweet | C |
| If man were wise to see't | B |
| But only melancholy | B |
| O sweetest melancholy | B |
| Welcome folded arms and fix egrave d eyes | D |
| A sigh that piercing mortifies | D |
| A look that's fastened to the ground | E |
| A tongue chained up without a sound | E |
| Fountain heads and pathless groves | D |
| Places which pale passion loves | D |
| Moonlight walks when all the fowls | D |
| Are warmly housed save bats and owls | D |
| A midnight bell a parting groan | F |
| These are the sounds we feed upon | G |
| Then stretch our bones in a still gloomy valley | B |
| Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy | B |
