| That no fair woman will wonder not why | G |
| Clap Rufus under thine her tender thigh | G |
| Not a silk gown shall once melt one of them | F |
| Nor the delights of a transparent gemme | F |
| A scurvy story kills thee which doth tell | B |
| That in thine armpits a fierce goat doth dwell | B |
| Him they all fear full of an ugly stench | H |
| Nor 's 't fit he should lye with a handsome wench | H |
| Wherefore this noses cursed plague first crush | H |
| Or cease to wonder why they fly you thus | D |
