Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIKK| Tears vows and prayers win the hardest heart | A |
| Tears vows and prayers have I spent in vain | B |
| Tears cannot soften flint nor vows convert | C |
| Prayers prevail not with a quaint disdain | B |
| I lose my tears where I have lost my love | D |
| I vow my faith where faith is not regarded | E |
| I pray in vain a merciless to move | F |
| So rare a faith ought better be rewarded | G |
| Yet though I cannot win her will with tears | H |
| Though my soul's idol scorneth all my vows | I |
| Though all my prayers be to so deaf ears | J |
| No favor though the cruel Fair allows | I |
| Yet will I weep vow pray to cruel she | K |
| Flint frost disdain wears melts and yields we see | K |
