V. THE KNELL.
The Bell doth tolle:Lord, help Thy servant, whose perplexèd Soule
Doth wishly look
On either hand,
26
Strugling on th'hook.
Now is the season,
Now ye great combat of our flesh and reason:
O help, my God;
See, they break in,
Disbanded humours, sorrows, troops of Sinn,
Each wth his rodd.
Lord, make Thy Blood
Convert and colour all the other flood
And streams of grief,
That they may bee
Julips and cordials when we call on Thee
For some relief.
