What Hercules coude abid to be thus trodden vnder foute

to humble my selfe to my father now it woud nothinge me bout
& to gote lawe wt h this newe cōmer I shoud be near the nere.
O god, o devill, o heaven, o hell, my harte now rents in twaine
a comes, a comes, a comes I shall dye in desperation
to hange my selfe surely I thinke now I must be fayne
I haue sinned so much that Ime quite past hope of salvation.
