[LVI. I soung sometime]

I soung sometime

I soung sometime, I soung, I soung sometime the freedome of my fancye, the fire extinct, the yoke and bonds subdued, with hart congealed, with hart congealed, I quencht the burning phransye, and with disdayne, and with disdaine, the harmefull bayte eschewed, but now I wayle my bondage and my enchayning, all naked vnarmed, in louely netts engaged, nor by teares, nor by teares can I finde, nor by complayning, mercy, mercy, mercy, nor comfort nor comfort, nor yet my griefe assuaged.
