Rhyme Scheme: ABCDED FGHGIG JKLMNO| I have old women's secrets now | A |
| That had those of the young | B |
| Madge tells me what I dared not think | C |
| When my blood was strong | D |
| And what had drowned a lover once | E |
| Sounds like an old song | D |
| - | |
| Though Margery is stricken dumb | F |
| If thrown in Madge's way | G |
| We three make up a solitude | H |
| For none alive to day | G |
| Can know the stories that we know | I |
| Or say the things we say | G |
| - | |
| How such a man pleased women most | J |
| Of all that are gone | K |
| How such a pair loved many years | L |
| And such a pair but one | M |
| Stories of the bed of straw | N |
| Or the bed of down | O |
