CXLIX

[Lyue thowe gladly, yff so thowe may]

Lyue thowe gladly, yff so thowe may;
Pyne thou not in loukynge for me;
Syns that dispayr hathe shut the wey,
Thoue to see me, or I to see the.

163

Make thoue a vertu of a constreynte;
Deme no faulte wer non ys wourthy;
Myns ys to muche, what nedes thy playnt?
God he knoythe who ys for me.
Cast apon the Lorde thy cuer,
Prey ounto hym thy cause to iuge;
Beleuye, and he shall send recur:
Vayne ys all trust of mans refuge.
