Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCCDEDEEEFGFGHHIH IHFF| Why ist damnation to dispaire and die | A |
| When life is my true happinesse disease | B |
| My soule my soule thy safetye makes me flie | C |
| The faultie meanes that might my paine appease | B |
| Diuines and dying men may talke of hell | C |
| But in my heart her seueral tormentes dwell | C |
| Ah worthlesse Wit to traine me to this woe | D |
| Deceitfull Artes that nourish Discontent | E |
| Ill thriue the Follie that bewicht me so | D |
| Vaine thoughts adieu for now I will repent | E |
| And yet my wants perswade me to proceede | E |
| Since none takes pitie of a Scollars neede | E |
| Forgiue me God although I curse my birth | F |
| And ban the aire wherein I breath a Wretch | G |
| Since Miserie hath daunted all my mirth | F |
| And I am quite vndone through promise breach | G |
| Oh friends no friends that then vngently frowne | H |
| When changing Fortune casts us headlong downe | H |
| Without redresse complaines my carelesse verse | I |
| And Mydas eares relent not at my moane | H |
| In some far Land will I my griefes reherse | I |
| Mongst them that will be mou'd when I shall groane | H |
| England adieu the Soyle that brought me foorth | F |
| Adieu vnkinde where skill is nothing woorth | F |
