Sorrow sorrow stay, lend true repentant teares

Sorrow sorrow stay, lend true repentant teares, to a woefull, wretched wight, hence, dispaire with thy tormenting feares: doe not, O doe not my heart poore heart affright, pitty, help now or neuer, mark me not to endlesse paine, alas I am cōdempne'd, I am condempned euer, no hope, no help, ther doth remaine, but downe, down, down, down I fall, downe


and arise, I neuer shall.
