Vnto the troubles and sorrowes of the worthy Knight Sir William Leighton.

Christs yoake is sweet, see how it workes the Heart,
with steam's of sigh's, with throw's of suppcation,
Say Well-iam, whē griefes Leight-on my part.
soul's are sublim'd, in fire of tribulation.
No meruaile Marble weepes on gloomy day:
Since griefe yeeldes Hunny dewes, griefe to allay.

Io. Layfeilde.
