Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHIE| Against that time if ever that time come | A |
| When I shall see thee frown on my defects | B |
| When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum | A |
| Called to that audit by advised respects | B |
| Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass | C |
| And scarcely greet me with that sun thine eye | D |
| When love converted from the thing it was | E |
| Shall reasons find of settled gravity mdash | F |
| Against that time do I ensconce me here | G |
| Within the knowledge of mine own desart | H |
| And this my hand against myself uprear | G |
| To guard the lawful reasons on thy part | H |
| To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws | I |
| Since why to love I can allege no cause | E |
