Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBCBCDEDEFF| ASTROPHEL AND STELLA I | A |
| Loving in truth and fain in verse my love to show | B |
| That she dear she might take some pleasure of my pain | C |
| Pleasure might cause her read reading might make her know | B |
| Knowledge might pity win and pity grace obtain | C |
| I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe | B |
| Studying inventions fine her wits to entertain | C |
| Oft turning others' leaves to see if thence would flow | B |
| Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sunburn'd brain | C |
| But words came halting forth wanting invention's stay | D |
| Invention Nature's child fled step dame Study's blows | E |
| And others' feet still seem'd but strangers in my way | D |
| Thus great with child to speak and helpless in my throes | E |
| Biting my truant pen beating myself for spite | F |
| Fool said my Muse to me look in thy heart and write | F |
