Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFFFFBB| But love whilst that thou mayst be lov'd again | A |
| Now whilst thy May hath fill'd thy lap with flowers | B |
| Now whilst thy beauty bears without a stain | C |
| Now use thy Summer smiles ere Winter lours | B |
| And whilst thou spread'st unto the rising sun | D |
| The fairest flower that ever saw the light | E |
| Now joy thy time before thy sweet be done | D |
| And Delia think thy morning must have night | E |
| And that thy brightness sets at length to west | F |
| When thou wilt close up that which now thou showest | F |
| And think the same becomes thy fading best | F |
| Which then shall hide it most and cover lowest | F |
| Men do not weigh the stalk for that it was | B |
| When once they find her flower her glory pass | B |
