Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA ACA CDD| In 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 |
