Rhyme Scheme: AAAABACCDDBE FGHHBH IIAABA| Tell me what's Love said Youth one day | A |
| To drooping Age who crest his way | A |
| It is a sunny hour of play | A |
| For which repentance dear doth pay | A |
| Repentance Repentance | B |
| And this is Love as wise men say | A |
| Tell me what's Love said Youth once more | C |
| Fearful yet fond of Age's lore | C |
| Soft as a passing summer's wind | D |
| Wouldst know the blight it leaves behind | D |

| This this is Love sweet Youth beware | H |

| Just then young Love himself came by | I |
| And cast on Youth a smiling eye | I |
| Who could resist that glance's ray | A |
| In vain did Age his warning say | A |
| Repentance Repentance | B |
| Youth laughing went with Love away | A |
