Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BABA BBC DDESome lovers speak when they their Muses entertain | A |
Of hopes begot by fear of wot not what desires | B |
Of force of heav'nly beams infusing hellish pain | A |
Of living deaths dear wounds fair storms and freezing fires | B |
- | |
Some one his song in Jove and Jove's strange tales attires | B |
Broidered with bulls and swans powdered with golden rain | A |
Another humbler wit to shepherd's pipe retires | B |
Yet hiding royal blood full oft in rural vein | A |

To some a sweetest plaint a sweetest style affords | B |
While tears pour out his ink and sighs breathe out his words | B |
His paper pale despair and pain his pen doth move | C |

I can speak what I feel and feel as much as they | D |
But think that all the map of my state I display | D |
When trembling voice brings forth that I do Stella love | E |
