Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDCAAC DDCECC FFDGGD| See with what constant motion | A |
| Even and glorious as the sunne | A |
| Gratiana steeres that noble frame | B |
| Soft as her breast sweet as her voyce | C |
| That gave each winding law and poyze | C |
| And swifter then the wings of Fame | B |
| - | |
| She beat the happy pavement | D |
| By such a starre made firmament | D |
| Which now no more the roofe envies | C |
| But swells up high with Atlas ev'n | A |
| Bearing the brighter nobler Heav'n | A |
| And in her all the Dieties | C |
| - | |
| Each step trod out a lovers thought | D |
| And the ambitious hopes he brought | D |
| Chain'd to her brave feet with such arts | C |
| Such sweet command and gentle awe | E |
| As when she ceas'd we sighing saw | C |
| The floore lay pav'd with broken hearts | C |
| - | |
| So did she move so did she sing | F |
| Like the harmonious spheres that bring | F |
| Unto their rounds their musick's ayd | D |
| Which she performed such a way | G |
| As all th' inamour'd world will say | G |
| The Graces daunced and Apollo play'd | D |
