Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCC DEDE CCCC| A ship with shields before the sun | A |
| Six maidens round the mast | B |
| A red gold crown on every one | A |
| A green gown on the last | B |
| - | |
| The fluttering green banners there | C |
| Are wrought with ladies' heads most fair | C |
| And a portraiture of Guenevere | C |
| The middle of each sail doth bear | C |
| - | |
| A ship with sails before the wind | D |
| And round the helm six knights | E |
| Their heaumes are on whereby half blind | D |
| They pass by many sights | E |
| - | |
| The tatter'd scarlet banners there | C |
| Right soon will leave the spear heads bare | C |
| Those six knights sorrowfully bear | C |
| In all their heaumes some yellow hair | C |
