| Cold as the breath of winds that blow | B |
| To silver shot descending snow | B |
| Lucasta sigh't when she did close | C |
| The world in frosty chaines | C |
| And then a frowne to rubies frose | C |
| The blood boyl'd in our veines | C |
| Yet cooled not the heat her sphere | D |
| Of beauties first had kindled there | E |

| Then mov'd and with a suddaine flame | F |
| Impatient to melt all againe | B |
| Straight from her eyes she lightning hurl'd | G |
| And earth in ashes mournes | C |
| The sun his blaze denies the world | G |
| And in her luster burnes | C |
| Yet warmed not the hearts her nice | C |
| Disdaine had first congeal'd to ice | C |

| And now her teares nor griev'd desire | H |
| Can quench this raging pleasing fire | H |
| Fate but one way allowes behold | I |
| Her smiles' divinity | J |
| They fann'd this heat and thaw'd that cold | I |
| So fram'd up a new sky | - |
| Thus earth from flames and ice repreev'd | I |
| E're since hath in her sun shine liv'd | I |
