CXXVI
[Desyre to Sorow doth me constrayne]
Desyre to Sorow doth me constrayne,
Dayly incressyng my Smart and payne;
I Se there ys no remedy playne,
But paciens.
Dayly incressyng my Smart and payne;
I Se there ys no remedy playne,
But paciens.
139
Dispayre doth put hym self in prese
To cause my sorows to encrese:
I trust at Last that yt wyll sesse
By paciens.
To cause my sorows to encrese:
I trust at Last that yt wyll sesse
By paciens.
Good hoope doth byd me be content,
And not my self thus to torment,
Promassyng me my hole intent
Through paciens.
And not my self thus to torment,
Promassyng me my hole intent
Through paciens.
I wyll not stryve agaynst the tyde,
For well I Se who doth abide;
That sufferans to hartes desyre ys gyde
By pacyens.
For well I Se who doth abide;
That sufferans to hartes desyre ys gyde
By pacyens.
