Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFEFCF GEHEI| We should be hidden from their eyes | A |
| Being but holy shows | B |

| And that none living knows | B |

| The women take so little stock | E |
| In what I do or say | F |

| And yet there beauty lay | F |
| - | |
| The first of all the tribe lay there | G |
| And did such pleasure take | E |
| She who had brought great Hector down | H |
| And put all Troy to wreck | E |
| That she cried into this ear | I |
| 'Strike me if I shriek ' | - |
