Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAAEFAAAAAAGGAA HIJKGGLL| So smell those odours that do rise | A |
| From out the wealthy spiceries | A |
| So smells the flower of blooming clove | B |
| Or roses smother'd in the stove | B |
| So smells the air of spiced wine | C |
| Or essences of jessamine | D |
| So smells the breath about the hives | A |
| When well the work of honey thrives | A |
| And all the busy factors come | E |
| Laden with wax and honey home | F |
| So smell those neat and woven bowers | A |
| All over arch'd with orange flowers | A |
| And almond blossoms that do mix | A |
| To make rich these aromatics | A |
| So smell those bracelets and those bands | A |
| Of amber chaf'd between the hands | A |
| When thus enkindled they transpire | G |
| A noble perfume from the fire | G |
| The wine of cherries and to these | A |
| The cooling breath of respasses | A |
| The smell of morning's milk and cream | H |
| Butter of cowslips mix'd with them | I |
| Of roasted warden or bak'd pear | J |
| These are not to be reckon'd here | K |
| Whenas the meanest part of her | G |
| Smells like the maiden pomander | G |
| Thus sweet she smells or what can be | L |
| More lik'd by her or lov'd by me | L |
