Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDD EFGHFII JKJDDLL| Dost see how unregarded now | A |
| That piece of beauty passes | B |
| There was a time when I did vow | A |
| To that alone | C |
| But mark the fate of faces | B |
| The red and white works now no more on me | D |
| Than if it could not charm or I not see | D |
| - | |
| And yet the face continues good | E |
| And I have still desires | F |
| Am still the selfsame flesh and blood | G |
| As apt to melt | H |
| And suffer from those fires | F |
| Oh some kind pow'r unriddle where it lies | I |
| Whether my heart be faulty or her eyes | I |
| - | |
| She ev'ry day her man does kill | J |
| And I as often die | K |
| Neither her power then nor my will | J |
| Can question'd be | D |
| What is the mystery | D |
| Sure beauty's empires like to greater states | L |
| Have certain periods set and hidden fates | L |
