Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| O be not griev'd that these my papers should | A |

| The chastest flame that ever warmed heart | B |
| Think not sweet Delia this shall be thy shame | C |
| My Muse should sound thy praise with mournful warble | D |
| How many live the glory of whose name | C |

| These shall entomb those eyes that have redeem'd | E |
| Me from the vulgar thee from all obscureness | F |
| Although my carefull accents ne'er mov'd thee | G |
| Yet count it no disgrace that I have lov'd thee | G |
