[Swete glove the swetenes of my secrett blisse]
Swete glove the swetenes of my secrett blisse
Whiche hidinge dideste preserve that lighte,

Be thou my starr in this my darkest nighte,
Nowe that myne eyes this cherefull sonne dothe misse,
Which dazelinge still, doest still maynetayne.
Be thou swete glove the Ancor of my mynde
Till my frayle barke his harbour agayne doe fynde

Unytye in one my state thus still to save
You have my thankes lett me your comforte have.
