Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABDAEFFEGG| I abide and abide and better abide | A |
| And after the old proverb the happy day | B |
| And ever my lady to me doth say | B |
| 'Let me alone and I will provide ' | C |
| I abide and abide and tarry the tide | A |
| And with abiding speed well ye may | B |
| Thus do I abide I wot alway | D |
| Nother obtaining nor yet denied | A |
| Ay me this long abiding | E |
| Seemeth to me as who sayeth | F |
| A prolonging of a dying death | F |
| Or a refusing of a desir'd thing | E |
| Much were it better for to be plain | G |
| Than to say 'abide' and yet shall not obtain | G |
