Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DBDBCC EFEFCCThere is a garden in her face | A |
Where roses and white lilies blow | B |
A heavenly paradise is that place | A |
Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow | B |
There cherries grow which none may buy | C |
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry | C |
- | |
Those cherries fairly do enclose | D |
Of orient pearl a double row | B |
Which when her lovely laughter shows | D |
They look like rose buds filled with snow | B |
Yet them no peer nor prince can buy | C |
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry | C |

Her eyes like angels watch them still | E |
Her brows like bended bows do stand | F |
Threat'ning with piercing frowns to kill | E |
All that attempt with eye or hand | F |
Those sacred cherries to come nigh | C |
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry | C |
