| And cups o'erflow with wine | D |
| Let well tuned words amaze | C |
| With harmony divine | D |

| Some measures comely tread | K |
| Some knotted riddles tell | J |
| Some poems smoothly read | K |
| The summer hath his joys | L |
| And winter his delights | E |
| Though love and all his pleasures are but toys | L |
| They shorten tedious nights | E |
