Th' Argument

Somtyme the pryde of mye assured trothe
Contemned all helpp of good and eke of man:
But when I saw man blyndlye how goi'the
In demyng hartes, whiche none but god there can,
And his domes hyd wheareby mans Malyce growth,
Myne Earle, this doute my hart did humble than
Ffor errour so might murder Innocence.
Then sang I thus in god my confydence.
