| He who ordained when first the world began | B |
| Time that was not before creation's hour | C |
| Divided it and gave the sun's high power | C |
| To rule the one the moon the other span | B |
| Thence fate and changeful chance and fortune's ban | B |
| Did in one moment down on mortals shower | C |
| To me they portioned darkness for a dower | D |
| Dark hath my lot been since I was a man | B |
| Myself am ever mine own counterfeit | E |
| And as deep night grows still more dim and dun | F |
| So still of more misdoing must I rue | G |
| Meanwhile this solace to my soul is sweet | H |
| That my black night doth make more clear the sun | F |
| Which at your birth was given to wait on you | G |
