Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA ACA CDDIn martial sports I had my cunning tried | A |
And yet to break more staves did me address | B |
While with the people's shouts I must confess | B |
Youth luck and praise ev'n fill'd my veins with pride | A |
- | |
When Cupid having me his slave descried | A |
In Mars's livery prancing in the press | B |
'What now Sir Fool ' said he I would no less | B |
'Look here I say ' I look'd and Stella spied | A |

Who hard by made a window send forth light | A |
My heart then quak'd then dazzled were mine eyes | C |
One hand forgot to rule th'other to fight | A |
- | |
Nor trumpet's sound I heard nor friendly cries | C |
My foe came on and beat the air for me | D |
Till that her blush taught me my shame to see | D |
