Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBCBCDEDEFF| XLVI | A |
| Let others sing of knights and paladines | B |
| In aged accents and untimely words | B |
| Paint shadows in imaginary lines | B |
| Which well the reach of their high wits records | B |
| But I must sing of thee and those fair eyes | B |
| Authentic shall my verse in time to come | C |
| When yet th' unborn shall say Lo where she lies | B |
| Whose beauty made him speak that else was dumb | C |
| These are the arks the trophies I erect | D |
| That fortify thy name against old age | E |
| And these thy sacred virtues must protect | D |
| Against the dark and time's consuming rage | E |
| Though th' error of my youth they shall discover | F |
| Suffice they show I liv'd and was thy lover | F |
