| Methought I saw my late espous egrave d saint | B |
| Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave | C |
| Whom Jove's great son to her glad husband gave | C |
| Rescued from death by force though pale and faint | B |
| Mine as whom washed from spot of child bed taint | B |
| Purification in the Old Law did save | C |
| And such as yet once more I trust to have | D |
| Full sight of her in Heav'n without restraint | B |
| Came vested all in white pure as her mind | E |
| Her face was veiled yet to my fancied sight | F |
| Love sweetness goodness in her person shined | E |
| So clear as in no face with more delight | F |
| But O as to embrace me she inclined | E |
| I waked she fled and day brought back my night | F |
