Rhyme Scheme: A BCBDEFGFHIHIJJ| To M P | A |
| - | |
| Like as the spotless Ermelin distress'd | B |
| Circumpass'd round with filth and loathsome mud | C |
| Pines in her grief imprison'd in her nest | B |
| And cannot issue forth to seek her good | D |
| So I environ'd with a hateful want | E |
| Look to the heav'ns the heav'ns yield forth no grace | F |
| I search the earth the earth I find as scant | G |
| I view my self my self in woeful case | F |
| Heav'n nor earth will not my self cannot work | H |
| A way through want to free my soul from care | I |
| But I must pine and in my pining lurk | H |
| Lest my sad looks bewray me how I fare | I |
| My fortune mantled with a cloud s'obscure | J |
| Thus shades my life so long as wants endure | J |
Samuel Daniel
