Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DAAD EFF EGH| Phoebus was judge between Jove Mars and Love | A |
| Of those three gods whose arms the fairest were | B |
| Jove's golden shield did eagle sables bear | C |
| Whose talons held young Ganymede above | A |
| - | |
| But in vert field Mars bare a golden spear | D |
| Which through a bleeding heart his point did shove | A |

| Jove in his helm the thunderbolt did rear | D |

| Cupid them smiles for on his crest there lies | E |
| Stella's fair hair her face he makes his shield | F |
| Where roses gules are borne in silver field | F |

| Phoebus drew wide the curtains of the skies | E |
| To blaze these last and sware devoutly then | G |
| The first thus match'd were scantly gentlemen | H |
