Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHH| Sweet virgin that I do not set | A |
| The pillars up of weeping jet | A |
| Or mournful marble let thy shade | B |
| Not wrathful seem or fright the maid | B |
| Who hither at her wonted hours | C |
| Shall come to strew thy earth with flowers | C |
| No know bless'd maid when there's not one | D |
| Remainder left of brass or stone | E |
| Thy living epitaph shall be | F |
| Though lost in them yet found in me | F |
| Dear in thy bed of roses then | G |
| Till this world shall dissolve as men | G |
| Sleep while we hide thee from the light | H |
| Drawing thy curtains round Good night | H |
