Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEFEDF| How soon hath Time the suttle theef of youth | A |
| Stoln on his wing my three and twentith yeer | B |
| My hasting dayes flie on with full career | B |
| But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th | C |
| Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth | A |
| That I to manhood am arriv'd so near | B |
| And inward ripenes doth much less appear | B |
| That som more timely happy spirits indu'th | A |
| Yet be it less or more or soon or slow | D |
| It shall be still in strictest measure eev'n | E |
| To that same lot however mean or high | F |
| Toward which Time leads me and the will of Heav'n | E |
| All is if I have grace to use it so | D |
| As ever in my great task Masters eye | F |
