Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDC DEF| Your words my friend right healthful caustics blame | A |
| My young mind marr'd whom Love doth windlass so | B |
| That mine own writings like bad servants show | B |
| My wits quick in vain thoughts in virtue lame | A |
| - | |
| That Plato I read for nought but if he tame | A |
| Such doltish gyres that to my birth I owe | B |
| Nobler desires lest else that friendly foe | B |
| Great Expectation were a train of shame | A |

| For since mad March great promise made of me | C |
| If now the May of my years much decline | D |
| What can be hoped my harvest time will be | C |
| - | |
| Sure you say well Your wisdom's golden mine | D |
| Dig deep with learning's spade Now tell me this | E |
| Hath this world aught so fair as Stella is | F |
