Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGH| Cynthius pluck ye by the ear | A |
| That ye may good doctrine hear | A |
| Play not with the maiden hair | B |
| For each ringlet there's a snare | B |
| Cheek and eye and lip and chin | C |
| These are traps to take fools in | C |
| Arms and hands and all parts else | D |
| Are but toils or manacles | D |
| Set on purpose to enthral | E |
| Men but slothfuls most of all | E |
| Live employed and so live free | F |
| From these fetters like to me | F |
| Who have found and still can prove | G |
| The lazy man the most doth love | H |
