Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBCBCB| Cyriack this three years day these eys though clear | A |
| To outward view of blemish or of spot | B |
| Bereft of light thir seeing have forgot | B |
| Nor to thir idle orbs doth sight appear | A |
| Of Sun or Moon or Starre throughout the year | A |
| Or man or woman Yet I argue not | B |
| Against heavns hand or will nor bate a jot | B |
| Of heart or hope but still bear vp and steer | A |
| Right onward What supports me dost thou ask | C |
| The conscience Friend to have lost them overply'd | B |
| In libertyes defence my noble task | C |
| Of which all Europe talks from side to side | B |
| This thought might lead me through the world's vain mask | C |
| Content though blind had I no better guide | B |
