Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDBDBDBB| The other two slight air and purging fire | A |
| Are both with thee wherever I abide | B |
| The first my thought the other my desire | A |
| These present absent with swift motion slide | B |
| For when these quicker elements are gone | C |
| In tender embassy of love to thee | D |

| Sinks down to death oppressed with melancholy | D |
| Until life's composition be recured | B |
| By those swift messengers returned from thee | D |

| Of thy fair health recounting it to me | D |
| This told I joy but then no longer glad | B |
| I send them back again and straight grow sad | B |
