[A sorie wight the obiect of disgrace]

[For gripes in all my parts doe neuer faile]
  
[My guiltie eie still seemes to see my sinne]
  
[For lif's a maze of countlesse straying waies]
  
[Else weeping eies resigne your teares to me]
  
[Lest shame the liuery of offending mind]
  
[For fawning vipers, dumbe till they had wounded]
  
[O beames of mercy beat on sorrowes cold]
  
[If Dauid night by night did bathe his bed]
  
[Christ health of feuer'd soule, heauen of the mind]
  
[Latar at pities gate I vlcered lie]
  
[Prone lookes, crost armes, bent knee, and contrite heart]
  
[With mildnesse Iesu measure my offence]
  
[Redeeme my lapse with ransome of thy loue]

[Sad subiect of my sinne hath stor'd my minde]

Sad subiect of my sinne hath stor'd my minde,
With euerlasting matter of complaint:
My throwes an endlesse alphabet doe finde,
Beyond the pangues that Ieremie doth paint.
That eies with errors may iust measure keepe:
Most teares I wish that haue most cause to weepe.
