Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCC DEDFFG AHAHHII| THEY flee from me that sometime did me seek | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp With naked foot stalking within my chamber | B |
| Once have I seen them gentle tame and meek | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp That now are wild and do not once remember | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp That sometime they have put themselves in danger | B |
| To take bread at my hand and now they range | C |
| Busily seeking in continual change | C |
| - | |
| Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Twenty times better but once especial | E |
| In thin array after a pleasant guise | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp When her loose gown did from her shoulders fall | F |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And she me caught in her arms long and small | F |
| And therewithal so sweetly did me kiss | G |
| And softly said 'Dear heart how like you this ' | - |
| - | |
| It was no dream for I lay broad awaking | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp But all is turn'd now through my gentleness | H |
| Into a bitter fashion of forsaking | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And I have leave to go of her goodness | H |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And she also to use new fangleness | H |
| But since that I unkindly so am served | I |
| 'How like you this ' what hath she now deserved | I |
