Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Or whether doth my mind being crown'd with you | A |
| Drink up the monarch's plague this flattery | B |
| Or whether shall I say mine eye saith true | A |
| And that your love taught it this alchemy | B |
| To make of monsters and things indigest | C |
| Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble | D |
| Creating every bad a perfect best | C |
| As fast as objects to his beams assemble | D |
| O 'tis the first 'tis flattery in my seeing | E |
| And my great mind most kingly drinks it up | F |
| Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'greeing | E |
| And to his palate doth prepare the cup | F |
| If it be poison'd 'tis the lesser sin | G |
| That mine eye loves it and doth first begin | G |
