Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDCEE| When flowing garments I behold | A |
| Inspir'd with purple pearl and gold | A |
| I think no other but I see | B |
| In them a glorious leprosy | B |
| That does infect and make the rent | C |
| More mortal in the vestiment | C |
| As flowery vestures do descry | D |
| The wearer's rich immodesty | C |
| So plain and simple clothes do show | E |
| Where virtue walks not those that flow | E |
