| Each trifle under truest bars to thrust | B |
| That to my use it might unus egrave d stay | A |
| From hands of falsehood in sure wards of trust | B |
| But thou to whom my jewels trifles are | C |
| Most worthy comfort now my greatest grief | D |
| Thou best of dearest and mine only care | E |
| Art left the prey of every vulgar thief | D |
| Thee have I not locked up in any chest | F |
| Save where thou art not mdash though I feel thou art mdash | G |
| Within the gentle closure of my breast | F |
| From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part | H |
| And even thence thou wilt be stol'n I fear | I |
| For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear | I |
