-<poem>
-Diaphenia, like the daffadowndilly,
-White as the sun, fair as the lily,
-Heigh ho, how I do love thee!
-I do love thee as my lambs
-Are belovèd of their dams:
-How blest were I if thou would'st prove me.
-Diaphenia, like the spreading roses,
-That in thy sweets all sweets encloses,
-Fair sweet, how I do love thee!
-I do love thee as each flower
-Loves the sun's life-giving power;
-For dead, thy breath to life might move me.
-Diaphenia, like to all things blessèd,
-When all thy praises are expressèd,
-Dear joy, how I do love thee!
-As the birds do love the spring,
-Or the bees their careful king;
-Then in requite, sweet virgin, love me!
