Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BABC DDE FFG| When I was forc'd from Stella ever dear | A |
| Stella food of my thoughts heart of my heart | B |
| Stella whose eyes make all my tempests clear | A |
| By iron laws of duty to depart | B |
| - | |
| Alas I found that she with me did smart | B |
| I saw that tears did in her eyes appear | A |
| I saw that sighs her sweetest lips did part | B |
| And her sad words my saddest sense did hear | C |

| For me I wept to see pearls scatter'd so | D |
| I sigh'd her sighs and wailed for her woe | D |
| Yet swam in joy such love in her was seen | E |

| Thus while th'effect most bitter was to me | F |
| And nothing than the couse more sweet could be | F |
| I had been vex'd if vex'd I had not been | G |
