Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye | A |
| That thou consum'st thy self in single life | B |
| Ah if thou issueless shalt hap to die | A |
| The world will wail thee like a makeless wife | B |
| The world will be thy widow and still weep | C |

| But beauty's waste hath in the world an end | E |
| And kept unused the user so destroys it | F |
| No love toward others in that bosom sits | G |
| That on himself such murd'rous shame commits | G |
