| Painted in my beclouded stormy face | B |
| But cannot skill to pity my disgrace | B |
| Not though thereof the cause herself she know | A |
| - | |
| Yet hearing late a fable which did show | A |
| Of lovers never known a grievous case | B |
| Pity thereof gat in her breast such place | B |
| That from that sea deriv'd tears' spring did flow | A |

| Alas if fancy drawn by imag'd things | C |
| Though false yet with free scope more grace doth breed | D |
| Than servant's wrack where new doubts honor brings | C |

| Then think my dear that you in me do read | E |
| Of lovers' ruin some sad tragedy | F |
| I am not I pity the tale of me | F |
