Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDBDBDBBThe other two slight air and purging fire | A |
Are both with thee wherever I abide | B |
The first my thought the other my desire | A |
These present absent with swift motion slide | B |
For when these quicker elements are gone | C |
In tender embassy of love to thee | D |
My life being made of four with two alone | E |
Sinks down to death oppress'd with melancholy | D |
Until life's composition be recur'd | B |
By those swift messengers return'd from thee | D |
Who even but now come back again assur'd | B |
Of thy fair health recounting it to me | D |
This told I joy but then no longer glad | B |
I send them back again and straight grow sad | B |
