Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Be wise as thou art cruel do not press | A |
| My tongue tied patience with too much disdain | B |
| Lest sorrow lend me words and words express | A |
| The manner of my pity wanting pain | B |
| If I might teach thee wit better it were | C |
| Though not to love yet love to tell me so | D |
| As testy sick men when their deaths be near | E |
| No news but health from their physicians know | D |
| For if I should despair I should grow mad | F |

| That I may not be so nor thou belied | H |
| Bear thine eyes straight though thy proud heart go wide | H |
