| And are softer than the leaves | C |
| On which the subtle spider weaves | C |

| Mighty tyrants melt and death awaken | K |

| I do not love thee O my fairest | L |
| For that richest for that rarest | M |
| Silver pillar which stands under | N |
| Thy sound head that globe of wonder | N |
| Though that neck be whiter far | O |
| Than towers of polished ivory are | O |
