Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDBBBCCCCEFCCBB BBBBBB| Vast was his soul some favorite above | A |
| Whose bolder pencil made a boy of love | A |
| A boy he thought him lovers less then boyes | B |
| Who barter all things for a crop of toyes | B |
| He wisely too his roving pow'r bestowd | C |
| in unconstant feathers drest the God | C |
| for now we love anon we hate ye same | D |
| Fantastick passion varyes all extreams | B |
| Justly he drew him for his play things darts | B |
| The little wanton sports with bleeding hearts | B |
| Justly he drew them to my cost Ive found | C |
| Unseen they fly still secure to wound | C |
| his arms younger follys fill my heart | C |
| But he has lost or hid his better part | C |
| His wings no more their heav'nly burthen bear | E |
| He sitts an everlasting trouble here | F |
| My bloud he fires torments my wretched breast | C |
| Drains all my bones robs my soul of rest | C |
| Cease cruell master fly to fuller veines | B |
| Your slave is wasted with incessant pains | B |
| Imploy your force on something I alas | B |
| Am but the shadow of the man I was | B |
| Why shoud I dy who live but for your use | B |
| to your part debauch the virgin muse | B |
| Who write of nought but arrows flames eyes | B |
| sing your brightest servants to the skyes | B |
