Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEE| When with the virgin morning thou dost rise | A |
| Crossing thyself come thus to sacrifice | B |
| First wash thy heart in innocence then bring | C |
| Pure hands pure habits pure pure every thing | C |
| Next to the altar humbly kneel and thence | D |
| Give up thy soul in clouds of frankincense | D |
| Thy golden censers fill'd with odours sweet | E |
| Shall make thy actions with their ends to meet | E |
