Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIHI| Ye blushing virgins happy are | A |
| In the chaste nunnery of her breasts | B |
| For he'd profane so chaste a fair | C |
| Whoe'er should call them Cupid's nests | B |
| - | |
| Transplanted thus how bright ye grow | D |
| How rich a perfume do ye yield | E |
| In some close garden cowslips so | D |
| Are sweeter than i' th' open field | E |
| - | |
| In those white cloisters live secure | F |
| From the rude blasts of wanton breath | G |
| Each hour more innocent and pure | F |
| Till you shall wither into death | G |
| - | |
| Then that which living gave you room | H |
| Your glorious sepulchre shall be | I |
| There wants no marble for a tomb | H |
| Whose breast hath marble been to me | I |
