Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDDEE| As gilliflowers do but stay | A |
| To blow and seed and so away | A |
| So you sweet lady sweet as May | A |
| The garden's glory lived a while | B |
| To lend the world your scent and smile | B |
| But when your own fair print was set | C |

| To give that life resigned your own | D |
