| When masters bind a slave with cruel chain | B |
| And keep him hope forlorn in bondage pent | C |
| Use tames his temper to imprisonment | D |
| And hardly would he fain be free again | E |
| Use curbs the snake and tiger and doth train | B |
| Fierce woodland lions to bear chastisement | D |
| And the young artist all with toil forspent | D |
| By constant use a giant's strength doth gain | B |
| But with the force of flame it is not so | F |
| For while fire sucks the sap of the green wood | D |
| It warms a frore old man and makes him grow | F |
| With such fine heat of youth and lustihood | D |
| Filling his heart and teaching it to glow | F |
| That love enfolds him with beatitude | D |
| If then in playful mood | D |
| He sport and jest old age need no man blame | G |
| For loving things divine implies no shame | G |
| The soul that knows her aim | G |
| Sins not by loving God's own counterfeit | D |
| Due measure kept and bounds and order meet | D |
