Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDGF HIJKIJ| Beloved may your sleep be sound | A |
| That have found it where you fed | B |
| What were all the world's alarms | C |
| To mighty paris when he found | A |
| Sleep upon a golden bed | B |
| That first dawn in Helen's arms | C |
| - | |
| Sleep beloved such a sleep | D |
| As did that wild Tristram know | E |
| When the potion's work being done | F |
| Roe could run or doe could leap | D |
| Under oak and beechen bough | G |
| Roe could leap or doe could run | F |
| - | |
| Such a sleep and sound as fell | H |
| Upon Eurotas' grassy bank | I |
| When the holy bird that there | J |
| Accomplished his predestined will | K |
| From the limbs of Leda sank | I |
| But not from her protecting care | J |
