[XI. Who will ascend to heauen & there obtaine me]

Who will ascend to heauen & there obtaine me

Who will ascend to heauen & there obtaine me, my witts forlorne & silly sence decayed? for since I tooke my woūd that sore doth paine me, frō your faire eyes my sprites are all dismayed. Nor of so great a losse I do complayne me, if it encrease not, but in some boundes be stayed, but if I still growe worse, I shalbe lotted, to wander through the world fond & assotted, to wāder through the world fond & assotted, but if I still growe worse I shalbe lotted, to wāder through the world fond & assotted, to wāder through the world fond & assotted.
