Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFAA| Fair and lovely maid look from the shore | A |
| See thy Leander striving in these waves | B |
| Poor soul forespent whose force can do no more | A |
| Now send forth hopes for now calm pity saves | B |
| And waft him to thee with those lovely eyes | C |
| A happy convoy to a holy land | D |
| Now show thy power and where thy virtue lies | C |
| To save thine own stretch out the fairest hand | D |
| Stretch out the fairest hand a pledge of peace | E |
| That hand that darts so right and never misses | F |
| I'll not revenge old wrongs my wrath shall cease | E |
| For that which gave me wounds I'll give it kisses | F |
| Once let the ocean of my cares find shore | A |
| That thou be pleas'd and I may sigh no more | A |
