That frantick errour I adore | B |
And am confirm'd the earth turns round | C |
Now satisfied o're and o're | D |
As rowling waves so flowes the ground | C |
And as her neighbour reels the shore | B |
Finde such a woman says she loves | E |
She's that fixt heav'n which never moves | F |

II | A |
In marble steele or porphyrie | B |
Who carves or stampes his armes or face | G |
Lookes it by rust or storme must dye | A |
This womans love no time can raze | H |
Hardned like ice in the sun's eye | A |
Or your reflection in a glasse | H |
Which keepes possession though you passe | H |

III | A |
We not behold a watches hand | I |
To stir nor plants or flowers to grow | B |
Must we infer that this doth stand | I |
And therefore that those do not blow | B |
This she acts calmer like Heav'ns brand | I |
The stedfast lightning slow loves dart | J |
She kils but ere we feele the smart | J |

IV | K |
Oh she is constant as the winde | J |
That revels in an ev'nings aire | B |
Certaine as wayes unto the blinde | J |
More reall then her flatt'ries are | B |
Gentle as chaines that honour binde | J |
More faithfull then an Hebrew Jew | L |
But as the divel not halfe so true | L |
