[Distressed soule, and thou deceitfull eye]

Distressed soule, and thou deceitfull eye, cease not, cease not to moane, to moane my miserie, to moane, to moane my miserie, cease not to mourne, cease not to mourne, to mourne, sith you cease not to sinne, you cease not to sinne, Better else you had neuer beene, you had neuer beene, for now no hope, no hope, no helpe for you is left, no hope, no helpe for you is left, but griefe for that, but griefe for that you are bereft, Aye me, poore wretch forlorne, that euer I was borne Aye me, Aye me, Aye me, Aye me.
