The rearding thoundars highest triees abate,and staitlye touers dothe with there fal ding dovne,
yet they not ay contenewe in that state,
nor yet they alweys furiouslye dois frovne;
bot thy fearse yre is euer bent and bowne
with sad effects my gladnes to efface,
and maks me scheaver trimblinglye and swowne,
and by disdaynes prolongs my deip disgrace.
the godds there Iust conceaved wreathe release,
and ar appaysed by a humbled harte;
yea, plagues deservd by fervent prayers cease:
bot thow thy thoughts from pittie dois avert,
as nather may my treuthe nor traynes availe
the rampiers of thy rigour for to skayle.
