Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGHGII| O truant Muse what shall be thy amends | A |
| For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyed | B |
| Both truth and beauty on my love depends | A |
| So dost thou too and therein dignified | B |
| Make answer Muse wilt thou not haply say | C |
| 'Truth needs no colour with his colour fix'd | D |
| Beauty no pencil beauty's truth to lay | C |
| But best is best if never intermix'd ' | E |
| Because he needs no praise wilt thou be dumb | F |
| Excuse not silence so for't lies in thee | G |
| To make him much outlive a gilded tomb | H |
| And to be praised of ages yet to be | G |
| Then do thy office Muse I teach thee how | I |
| To make him seem long hence as he shows now | I |
