Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBADAEDEA| Of Something Made By The Giver | A |
| - | |
| Child your effectual hands create too much | B |
| The things they fashion having thenceforth less | C |
| The type of matter than the preciousness | C |
| Of you how can I serve myself of such | B |
| The kindred in my being doth avouch | B |
| Your essence in the very press and stress | C |
| Of action I am foiled to a caress | C |
| Ah give me something you but meant to touch | B |
| Something your love has ripen'd till I'm 'ware | A |
| Of thoughts that came in light and stay'd in sweet | D |
| Or th' apostolic shadow of your care | A |
| Passing by hath healed of malady | E |
| Or wholed in use and grace gifts rare and meet | D |
| But not too rarely yours to be for me | E |
| Still meet nor meetly mine to be still yours and rare | A |
