The Argument.

When Dauids foes: inueterate,
Hym slaundred sore: as obstinate:
That he Saules reigne: would vendicat,
He prayed to God: immaculate.
To cleare his state.

Domine non est.

My hart proud things (lord) counted not
Myne eyes aloft: haunt mounted not:
In boasting actes: I walked not,
Things past my reach: I stalked not.
Lord deare me not.

If I my hart: refrayned not,
If I my soule: restrayned not:
If I as childe: beweynd me not,
If I from pride: absteynd me not.
Then heare me not.

O Israell: most fortunate,
Wayte thou the Lord: still moderate:
Be meeke, flee pryde: inordinate,
From this tyme forth: interminate.
And feare thou not.
