| Make war upon this bloody tyrant Time | B |

| Now stand you on the top of happy hours | C |
| And many maiden gardens yet unset | D |
| With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers | C |
| Much liker than your painted counterfeit | E |

| Which this Time's pencil or my pupil pen | G |
| Neither in inward worth nor outward fair | F |
| Can make you live your self in eyes of men | G |
| To give away your self keeps your self still | H |
| And you must live drawn by your own sweet skill | H |
