Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIHJKK| They that have power to hurt and will do none | A |
| That do not do the thing they most do show | B |
| Who moving others are themselves as stone | C |
| Unmoved cold and to temptation slow | B |
| They rightly do inherit heaven's graces | D |
| And husband nature's riches from expense | E |
| They are the lords and owners of their faces | F |
| Others but stewards of their excellence | G |
| The summer's flower is to the summer sweet | H |
| Though to itself it only live and die | I |
| But if that flower with base infection meet | H |
| The basest weed outbraves his dignity | J |
| For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds | K |
| Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds | K |
