Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCDDAAEFFGHHDD II| Among the myrtles as I walk'd | A |
| Love and my sighs thus intertalk'd | A |
| Tell me said I in deep distress | B |
| Where I may find my Shepherdess | B |
| Thou fool said Love know'st thou not this | B |
| In every thing that's sweet she is | B |
| In yond' carnation go and seek | C |
| There thou shalt find her lip and cheek | C |
| In that enamell'd pansy by | D |

| There waves the streamer of her blood | A |

| And in the turning of an eye | D |
| And all thy hopes of her must wither | I |
| Like those short sweets here knit together | I |
