[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]

[Lest shame the liuery of offending mind]

Lest shame the liuery of offending mind,
The vgly shroud that ouer shadoweth blame,
The mulct at which foule faults are iustly fin'd,
The dampe of sinne, the common sluce of fame,
By which impostum'd tongues their humors purge,
Doe light on me: for I deserue thy scurge.
