Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA ACC DAD| Like some weak lords neighbor'd by mighty kings | A |
| To keep themselves and their chief cities free | B |
| Do easily yield that all their coasts may be | B |
| Ready to store their camps of needful things | A |
| - | |
| So Stella's heart finding what power Love brings | A |
| To keep itself in life and liberty | B |
| Doth willing grant that in the frontiers he | B |
| Use all to help his other conquerings | A |

| And thus her heart escapes but thus her eyes | A |
| Serve him with shot her lips his heralds are | C |
| Her breasts his tents legs his triumphal car | C |
| - | |
| Her flesh his food her skin his armor brave | D |
| And I but for bacuse my prospect lies | A |
| Upon that coast am giv'n up for a slave | D |
