| Kind to the world but to itself unkind | B |
| A worm is born that dying noiselessly | C |
| Despoils itself to clothe fair limbs and be | D |
| In its true worth by death alone divined | B |
| Oh would that I might die for her to find | B |
| Raiment in my outworn mortality | B |
| That changing like the snake I might be free | B |
| To cast the slough wherein I dwell confined | B |
| Nay were it mine that shaggy fleece that stays | A |
| Woven and wrought into a vestment fair | E |
| Around her beauteous bosom in such bliss | A |
| All through the day she'd clasp me Would I were | F |
| The shoes that bear her burden When the ways | A |
| Were wet with rain her feet I then should kiss | A |
