| What though strong love of life doth flatter me | B |
| With hope of yet more years on earth to stay | C |
| Death none the less draws nearer day by day | C |
| Who to sad souls alone comes lingeringly | D |
| Yet why desire long life and jollity | C |
| If in our griefs alone to God we pray | C |
| Glad fortune length of days and pleasure slay | C |
| The soul that trusts to their felicity | C |
| Then if at any hour through grace divine | E |
| The fiery shafts of love and faith that cheer | F |
| And fortify the soul my heart assail | D |
| Since nought achieve these mortal powers of mine | E |
| Straight may I wing my way to heaven for here | G |
| With lengthening days good thoughts and wishes fail | D |
