Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CCD EED| Where be those roses gone which sweeten'd so our eyes | A |
| Where those red cheeks which oft with fair increase did frame | B |
| The height of honor in the kindly badge of shame | B |
| Who hath the crimson weeds stol'n from my morning skies | A |
| - | |
| How did the color fade of those vermilion dyes | A |
| Which Nature self did make and self engrain'd the same | B |
| I would know by what right this paleness overcame | B |
| That hue whose force my heart still unto thraldom ties | A |
| - | |
| Galen's adoptive sons who by a beaten way | C |
| Their judgments hackney on the fault of sickness lay | C |
| But feeling proof makes me say they mistake it furre | D |
| - | |
| It is but Love which makes his paper perfect white | E |
| To write therein more fresh the story of delight | E |
| While Beauty's reddest ink Venus for him doth stir | D |
Sir Philip Sidney
