Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCC DEDFFG HIHIIJJ| They flee from me that sometime did me seek | A |
| With naked foot stalking in my chamber | B |
| I have seen them gentle tame and meek | A |
| That now are wild and do not remember | B |
| That sometime they put themself in danger | B |
| To take bread at my hand and now they range | C |
| Busily seeking with a continual change | C |

| Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise | D |
| Twenty times better but once in special | E |
| In thin array after a pleasant guise | D |

| And she me caught in her arms long and small | F |
| Therewithall sweetly did me kiss | G |
| And softly said 'dear heart how like you this ' | - |

| It was no dream I lay broad waking | H |
| But all is turned thorough my gentleness | I |
| Into a strange fashion of forsaking | H |
| And I have leave to go of her goodness | I |
| And she also to use newfangleness | I |
| But since that I so kindly am served | J |
| I would fain know what she hath deserved | J |
