Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB CCD AAE| Out traitor Absence darest thou counsel me | A |
| From my dear captainess to run away | B |
| Because in brave array here marched she | A |
| That to win me oft shows a present pay | B |
| - | |
| Is faith so weak Or is such force in thee | A |
| When sun is hid can stars such beams display | B |
| Cannot heav'n's food once felt keep stomachs free | A |
| From base desire on earthly cates to prey | B |
| - | |
| Tush Absence while thy mists eclipse that light | C |
| My orphan sense flies to th'inward sight | C |
| Where memory sets forth the beams of love | D |
| - | |
| That where before heart lov'd and eyes did see | A |
| In heart both sight and love now coupl'd be | A |
| United powers make each the stronger prove | E |
