Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEFGA| If euer wonder could report a wonder | A |
| Or tongue of wonder worth could tell a wonder thought | B |
| Or euer ioy expresse what perfect ioy hath taught | B |
| Then wonder tongue then ioy might wel report a wonder | A |
| Could all conceite conclude which past conceit admireth | C |
| Or could mine eye but ayme her obiects past perfection | D |
| My words might imitate my deerest thoughts direction | D |
| And my soule then obtaine which so my soule desireth | C |
| Were not Inuention stauld treading Inuentions maze | E |
| Or my swift winged Muse tyred by too hie flying | F |
| Did not perfection still on her perfection gaze | E |
| Whilst Loue my Phoenix bird in her owne flame is dying | F |
| Inuention and my Muse perfection and her loue | G |
| Should teach the world to know the wonder that I proue | A |
