| Cyriac this three years' day these eyes though clear | B |
| To outward view of blemish or of spot | C |
| Bereft of light their seeing have forgot | C |
| Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear | B |
| Of sun or moon or star throughout the year | B |
| Or man or woman Yet I argue not | C |
| Against Heav'n's hand or will nor bate a jot | C |
| Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer | B |

| The conscience Friend t' have lost them overplied | C |
| In liberty's defence my noble task | D |
| Of which all Europe rings from side to side | C |
| This thought might lead me through the world's vain mask | D |
| Content though blind had I no better guide | C |
