Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDEFF| Were I as base as is the lowly plain | A |
| And you my Love as high as heaven above | B |
| Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain | A |
| Ascend to heaven in honor of my love | B |
| Were I as high as heaven above plain | A |
| And you my Love as humble and as low | C |
| As are the deepest bottoms of the main | A |
| Wheresoe'er you were with you my love should go | C |
| Were you the earth dear Love and I the skies | D |
| My love should shine on you like to the sun | E |
| And look upon you with ten thousand eyes | D |
| Till heaven waxed blind and till the world were dun | E |
| Wheresoe'er I am below or else above you | F |
| Wheresoe'er you are my heart shall truly love you | F |
