A comparison of the louers paines.
Lyke
as the brake within the riders hande,
Dothe strayne the horse nye woode with griefe of payne,
Not vsed before to come in such a bande,
Striueth for griefe, although godwot in vayne.
To be as erst he was at libertie,
But force of force dothe straine the contrary.

To be as erst he was at libertie,
But force of force dothe straine the contrary.
Euen so since band dothe cause my deadly griefe,
That made me so my wofull chaunce lament,
Like thing hath brought me into paine and mischiefe,
Saue willingly to it I did assent.
To binde the thing in fredome which was free,
That now full sore alas repenteth me.
