Sonnet. LXXXXIIII.

[O what a gracious burthen huge and heauie]

O what a gracious burthen huge and heauie,
What charge importable, and painefull weight
Those deadly sinnes which with our soules doe fight,
And fresh supplies of vile offences leuie?
Yeelding more puisance to their powrefull might,
In hope with shade of euerlasting night
To blind the beamesome rayes of my poore soule
(Which doth a restlesse stone of labour roule)
Till thy deare gracious mercies from thy sight
Do banish them, and with the glorie bright
Of thy sweete pardon lighten them againe?
And then (albeit no volumes can containe
Thy praise and mercies) yet will I contend
From East to West their memorie to send.
