Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFGHH| Prometheus when first from heaven high | A |
| He brought down fire till then on earth not seen | B |
| Fond of delight a satyr standing by | A |
| Gave it a kiss as it like sweet had been | C |
| - | |
| Feeling forthwith the other burning power | D |
| Wood with the smart with shouts and shrieking shrill | E |
| He sought his ease in river field and bower | D |
| But for the time his grief went with him still | E |
| - | |
| So silly I with that unwonted sight | F |
| In human shape an angel from above | G |
| Feeding mine eyes th' impression there did light | F |
| That since I run and rest as pleaseth love | G |
| The difference is the satyr's lips my heart | H |
| He for a while I evermore have smart | H |
