Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEEE| METHOUGHT I saw my late espoused Saint | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Whom Joves great Son to her glad Husband gave | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint | A |
| Mine as whom washt from spot of child bed taint | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Purification in the old Law did save | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And such as yet once more I trust to have | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint | A |
| Came vested all in white pure as her mind | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Her face was vail'd yet to my fancied sight | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Love sweetness goodness in her person shin'd | D |
| So clear as in no face with more delight | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp But O as to embrace me she enclin'd | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp I wak'd she fled and day brought back my night | E |
