[Vaine hope adue, Thou life-consuming moath]

Vaine hope adue, Thou life-consuming moath,
Which frets my soule in peeces, with delay,
My well-spun threads, Will make no cloath,
To shrowd me from the tempest, of decay,
For stormes of fortune drench me like a floud,
Whilst rancors frost, nips Merit in her bud.
