Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB CDC DEE| My Muse may well grudge at my heav'nly joy | A |
| If still I force her in sad rimes to creep | B |
| She oft hath drunk my tears now hopes t'enjoy | A |
| Nectar of mirth since I Jove's cup do keep | B |
| - | |
| Sonnets be not bound prentice to annoy | A |
| Trebles sing high as well as basses deep | B |
| Grief but Love's winter livery is the boy | A |
| Hath cheeks to smile as well as eyes to weep | B |

| Come then my Muse show thou height of delight | C |
| In well rais'd notes my pen the best it may | D |
| Shall paint out joy though but in black and white | C |

| Cease eager Muse peace pen for my sake stay | D |
| I give you here my hand for truth of this | E |
| Wise silence is best music unto bliss | E |
