Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCCBDEEEFF GHIGHJIKLJMAMAAEEHNH EEEEOOPPQR| Phoebus arise | A |
| And paint the sable skies | A |
| With azure white and red | B |
| Rouse Memnon's mother from her Tithon's bed | B |
| That she may thy career with roses spread | B |
| The nightingales thy coming each where sing | C |
| Make an eternal spring | C |
| Give life to this dark world which lieth dead | B |
| Spread forth thy golden hair | D |
| In larger locks than thou wast wont before | E |
| And emperor like decore | E |
| With diadem of pearl thy temples fair | E |
| Chase hence the ugly night | F |
| Which serves but to make dear thy glorious light | F |
| - | |
| This is that happy morn | G |
| That day long wished day | H |
| Of all my life so dark | I |
| If cruel stars have not my ruin sworn | G |
| And fates my hopes betray | H |
| Which purely white deserves | J |
| An everlasting diamond should it mark | I |
| This is the morn should bring unto this grove | K |
| My Love to hear and recompense my love | L |
| Fair King who all preserves | J |
| But show thy blushing beams | M |
| And thou two sweeter eyes | A |
| Shalt see than those which by Peneus' streams | M |
| Did once thy heart surprise | A |
| Now Flora deck thyself in fairest guise | A |
| If that ye winds would hear | E |
| A voice surpassing far Amphion's lyre | E |
| Your furious chiding stay | H |
| Let Zephyr only breathe | N |
| And with her tresses play | H |
| The winds all silent are | E |
| And Phoebus in his chair | E |
| Ensaffroning sea and air | E |
| Makes vanish every star | E |
| Night like a drunkard reels | O |
| Beyond the hills to shun his flaming wheels | O |
| The fields with flowers are decked in every hue | P |
| The clouds with orient gold spangle their blue | P |
| Here is the pleasant place | Q |
| And nothing wanting is save She alas | R |
