William Tompson, anagram I; lo, now i am past ill.
Why wepe yea still for me, my Children dear?What Cause haue ye of sorow, grief or fear?
Lo, now all euill things are past and gone,
Terror, black Coller & strangullion;
My pains are Curd, no greif doth me anoy,
My sorrows all are turned in to joy.
No fiend of hell shall hence forth me asay,
My fears are heald, my teares are wipt away;
Gods reconciled face j now behould,
He that dispersd my darkness many fold;
In Abrams bosom now i swetely rest,
Of perfect joy & hapiness posest.
