Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCCDEDD AFBFBBCBCC AGHGHHIHII| I | A |
| He is to weet a melancholy carle | B |
| Thin in the waist with bushy head of hair | C |
| As hath the seeded thistle when in parle | B |
| It holds the Zephyr ere it sendeth fair | C |
| Its light balloons into the summer air | C |
| Therto his beard had not begun to bloom | D |
| No brush had touch'd his chin or razor sheer | E |
| No care had touch'd his cheek with mortal doom | D |
| But new he was and bright as scarf from Persian loom | D |
| - | |
| II | A |
| Ne cared he for wine or half and half | F |
| Ne cared he for fish or flesh or fowl | B |
| And sauces held he worthless as the chaff | F |
| He 'sdeigned the swine head at the wassail bowl | B |
| Ne with lewd ribbalds sat he cheek by jowl | B |
| Ne with sly Lemans in the scorner's chair | C |
| But after water brooks this Pilgrim's soul | B |
| Panted and all his food was woodland air | C |
| Though he would oft times feast on gilliflowers rare | C |
| - | |
| III | A |
| The slang of cities in no wise he knew | G |
| Tipping the wink to him was heathen Greek | H |
| He sipp'd no olden Tom or ruin blue | G |
| Or nantz or cherry brandy drank full meek | H |
| By many a damsel hoarse and rouge of cheek | H |
| Nor did he know each aged watchman's beat | I |
| Nor in obscured purlieus would he seek | H |
| For curled Jewesses with ankles neat | I |
| Who as they walk abroad make tinkling with their feet | I |
