Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD CEFE GHGB CC| LOVE guards the roses of thy lips | A |
| And flies about them like a bee | B |
| If I approach he forward skips | A |
| And if I kiss he stingeth me | B |

| Love in thine eyes doth build his bower | C |
| And sleeps within their pretty shine | D |
| And if I look the boy will lower | C |
| And from their orbs shoot shafts divine | D |

| Love let me cull her choicest flowers | G |
| And pity me and calm her eye | H |
| Make soft her heart dissolve her lowers | G |
| Then will I praise thy deity | B |

| But if thou do not Love I'll truly serve her | C |
| In spite of thee and by firm faith deserve her | C |
