I	A
In the nativity of time	B
Chloris it was not thought a crime	B
In direct Hebrew for to woe	C
Now wee make love as all on fire	D
Ring retrograde our lowd desire	D
And court in English backward too	E
	-
II	A
Thrice happy was that golden age	F
When complement was constru'd rage	F
And fine words in the center hid	G
When cursed NO stain'd no maid's blisse	H
And all discourse was summ'd in YES	H
And nought forbad but to forbid	G
	-
III	A
Love then unstinted love did sip	I
And cherries pluck'd fresh from the lip	I
On cheeks and roses free he fed	J
Lasses like Autumne plums did drop	K
And lads indifferently did drop	K
A flower and a maiden head	J
	-
IV	L
Then unconfined each did tipple	M
Wine from the bunch milk from the nipple	M
Paps tractable as udders were	D
Then equally the wholsome jellies	H
Were squeez'd from olive trees and bellies	H
Nor suits of trespasse did they fear	N
	-
V	L
A fragrant bank of strawberries	H
Diaper'd with violets' eyes	H
Was table table cloth and fare	O
No palace to the clouds did swell	P
Each humble princesse then did dwell	P
In the Piazza of her hair	O
	-
VI	L
Both broken faith and th' cause of it	Q
All damning gold was damn'd to th' pit	Q
Their troth seal'd with a clasp and kisse	H
Lasted until that extreem day	R
In which they smil'd their souls away	R
And in each other breath'd new blisse	H
	-
VII	L
Because no fault there was no tear	O
No grone did grate the granting ear	S
No false foul breath their del'cat smell	P
No serpent kiss poyson'd the tast	R
Each touch was naturally chast	R
And their mere Sense a Miracle	M
	-
VIII	L
Naked as their own innocence	H
And unembroyder'd from offence	H
They went above poor riches gay	R
On softer than the cignet's down	T
In beds they tumbled off their own	U
For each within the other lay	R
	-
IX	H
Thus did they live thus did they love	L
Repeating only joyes above	L
And angels were but with cloaths on	V
Which they would put off cheerfully	L
To bathe them in the Galaxie	H
Then gird them with the heavenly zone	U
	-
X	H
Now Chloris miserably crave	L
The offer'd blisse you would not have	L
Which evermore I must deny	L
Whilst ravish'd with these noble dreams	H
And crowned with mine own soft beams	H
Injoying of my self I lye	L
