[Since first I came to yeeres my selfe to know]
Since first I came to yeeres my selfe to know,To know my selfe, I haue done what I can:
Who am not as I am in outward show,
And yet I seeke to show my selfe a man:
For, sith of Soule, and Body I consist,
And that my Body for my Soule was made,
I ought, in searching of that Soule, insist;
Sith that's my selfe, that Is, and cannot fade:
Shee Is: that is, (Like hir Originall)
immortall, and inuisible: that is
Past comprehention of Witt naturall,
So, still I search, to know, to know I misse:
Then, if my knowledge bee but this to kno
That I know nothing, I am humbled so.
