| - | |
| Valour to pride hath turned grave holiness | B |
| To vile hypocrisy all gentle ways | C |
| To empty forms sound sense to idle lays | C |
| Pure love to heat beauty to paint and dress | D |
| Thanks to you Poets you who sing the praise | C |
| Of fabled knights foul fires lies nullities | C |
| Not virtue nor the wrapped sublimities | C |
| Of God as bards were wont in those old days | C |
| How far more wondrous than your phantasies | C |
| Are Nature's works how far more sweet to sing | E |
| Thus taught the soul falsehood and truth descries | C |
| That tale alone is worth the pondering | E |
| Which hath not smothered history in lies | C |
| And arms the soul against each sinful thing | E |
