[Tosse not my soule, O loue twixt hope and feare]
Tosse not my soule, O loue twixt hope and feare,
Shew mee some ground where I may firmely stand
Or surely fall, I care not which apeare,
So one will close mee in a certaine band.
Shew mee some ground where I may firmely stand
Or surely fall, I care not which apeare,
So one will close mee in a certaine band.
Lenuoy:
When once of ill the vttermost is knowen,The strength of sorrow quite is ouer throwne.
Take mee Assurance to thy blisfull holde,
Or thou Despaire vnto thy darkest Cell,
Each hath full rest, the one in ioyes enrolde,
Th'other, in that hee feares no more, is well:
Or thou Despaire vnto thy darkest Cell,

Th'other, in that hee feares no more, is well:
When once the vttermost of ill is knowne,
The strength of sorrow quite is ouerthrowne.
The strength of sorrow quite is ouerthrowne.
The end of the foure parts.
