Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| That you were once unkind befriends me now | A |
| And for that sorrow which I then did feel | B |
| Needs must I under my transgression bow | A |
| Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel | B |
| For if you were by my unkindness shaken | C |
| As I by yours you've pass'd a hell of time | D |
| And I a tyrant have no leisure taken | C |
| To weigh how once I suffer'd in your crime | D |
| O that our night of woe might have remember'd | E |
| My deepest sense how hard true sorrow hits | F |
| And soon to you as you to me then tender'd | E |
| The humble salve which wounded bosoms fits | F |
| But that your trespass now becomes a fee | G |
| Mine ransoms yours and yours must ransom me | G |
