Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDDEDEFF| My heart was slain and none but you and I | A |
| Who should I think the murther should commit | B |
| Since but yourself there was no creature by | A |
| But only I guiltless of murth'ring it | B |
| It slew itself the verdict on the view | C |
| Doth quit the dead and me not accessary | D |
| Well well I fear it will be prov'd by you | C |
| The evidence so great a proof doth carry | D |
| But O see see we need inquire no further | D |
| Upon your lips the scarlet drops are found | E |
| And in your eye the boy that did the murther | D |
| Your cheeks yet pale since first he gave the wound | E |
| By this I see however things be past | F |
| Yet Heaven will still have murther out at last | F |
