Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEFEGG HIHIJJ KLMLNO| One of her hands one of her cheeks lay under | A |
| Cosening the pillow of a lawful kiss | B |
| Which therefore swell'd and seem'd to part asunder | A |
| As angry to be robb'd of such a bliss | B |
| The one look'd pale and for revenge did long | C |
| While t'other blush'd 'cause it had done the wrong | C |
| - | |
| Out of the bed the other fair hand was | D |
| On a green satin quilt whose perfect white | E |
| Look'd like a daisy in a field of grass | F |
| And show'd like unmelt snow unto the sight | E |
| There lay this pretty perdue safe to keep | G |
| The rest o' th' body that lay fast asleep | G |
| - | |
| Her eyes and therefore it was night close laid | H |
| Strove to imprison beauty till the morn | I |
| But yet the doors were of such fine stuff made | H |
| That it broke through and show'd itself in scorn | I |
| Throwing a kind of light about the place | J |
| Which turn'd to smiles still as't came near her face | J |
| - | |
| Her beams which some dull men call'd hair divided | K |
| Part with her cheeks part with her lips did sport | L |
| But these as rude her breath put by still some | M |
| Wiselier downwards sought but falling short | L |
| Curled back in rings and seemed to turn again | N |
| To bite the part so unkindly held them in | O |
