Rhyme Scheme: ABABCABABDEBEE| Thou blind mans marke thou fooles selfe chosen snare | A |
| Fond fancies scum and dregs of scatter'd thought | B |
| Band of all euils cradle of causelesse care | A |
| Thou web of will whose end is neuer wrought | B |
| Desire Desire I haue too dearly bought | C |
| With prise of mangled mind thy worthlesse ware | A |
| Too long too long asleepe thou hast me brought | B |
| Who shouldst my mind to higher things prepare | A |
| But yet in vaine thou hast my ruine sought | B |
| In vaine thou madest me to vaine things aspire | D |

| For Vertue hath this better lesson taught | B |
| Within my selfe to seeke my onelie hire | E |
| Desiring nought but how to kill Desire | E |
