Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDE DDD| Alas whence come this change of looks If I | A |
| Have chang'd desert let mine own conscience be | B |
| A still felt plague to self condemning me | B |
| Let woe gripe on my heart shame load mine eye | A |
| - | |
| But if all faith like spotless ermine lie | A |
| Safe in my soul which only doth to thee | B |
| As his sole object of felicity | B |
| With wings of love in air of wonder fly | A |
| - | |
| Oh ease your hand treat not so hard your slave | C |
| In justice pains come not till faults do call | D |
| Or if I needs sweet Judge must torments have | E |
| - | |
| Use something else to chasten me withal | D |
| Than those blest eyes where all my hopes do dwell | D |
| No doom should make one's heav'n become his hell | D |
