Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFGHH IJIJ KLKL MNMNOOThe dart the beams the sting so strong I prove | A |
Which my chief part doth pass through parch and tie | B |
That of the stroke the heat and knot of love | C |
Wounded inflamed knit to the death I die | B |

Hardened and cold far from affection's snare | D |
Was once my mind my temper and my life | E |

Yet will not I grief ashes thraldom change | F |
For others' ease their fruit or free estate | G |
So brave a shot dear fire and beauty strange | F |
Bid me pierce burn and bind long time and late | G |
And in my wounds my flames and bonds I find | H |
A salve fresh air and bright contented mind | H |

Virtue beauty and speech did strike wound charm | I |
My heart eyes ears with wonder love delight | J |
First second last did bind enforce and arm | I |

Thus honour liking trust much far and deep | K |
Held pierced possessed my judgment sense and will | L |
Till wrongs contempt deceit did grow steal creep | K |
Bands favour faith to break defile and kill | L |

Then grief unkindness proof took kindled taught | M |
Well grounded noble due spite rage disdain | N |
But ah alas in vain my mind sight thought | M |
Doth him his face his words leave shun refrain | N |
For nothing time nor place can loose quench ease | O |
Mine own embraced sought knot fire disease | O |
