Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD CBCB EFGF| As after noon one summer's day | A |
| Venus stood bathing in a river | B |
| Cupid a shooting went that way | A |
| New strung his bow new fill'd his quiver | B |
| - | |
| With skill he chose his sharpest dart | C |
| With all his might his bow he drew | D |
| Swift to his beauteous parent's heart | C |
| The too well guided arrow flew | D |

| Like Nero thou hast slain thy mother | B |

| Indeed Mamma I did not know ye | F |
| Alas how easy my mistake | G |
| I took you for your likeness Chloe | F |
