XIIII. In vaine my tongue thou begst to ease my care

In vaine my tongue thou begst to ease my care, my care,

In vaine mine eies you gase, or looke for aide, for aide, in vaine mine eares you listen after ayre, In vaine my thoughts, you think what hath beene said, In vaine my faith serues where 'tis not regarded, In vaine my hope when truth is not rewarded. In vaine my faith serues where 'tis not regarded, In vaine my hope, when truth is not rewarded.
