Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGAA| Softly O dropp mine eyes lest you be dry | A |
| And make my heart with grief to melt and die | A |
| Now pour out tears apace | B |
| Now stay O heavy case | B |
| O sour sweet woe | C |
| Alas O grief O joy Why strive you so | C |
| Can griefs and joys at once in one poor heart consent | D |
| Then sigh and sing rejoice lament | D |
| Ah me O passions strange and violent | E |
| Was never poor wretch so tormented | F |
| Nor joy nor grief can make my heart contented | G |
| For while with joy I look on high | A |
| Down down I fall with grief and die | A |
