[The doutfull state that I posses]
The doutfull state that I posses, doth trouble all my wits throughout, one while good hap seems t'will not ceasse, then by and by it makes me dout: And thus standing in hope and dread, I wish oft times that I were dead, I wish oft times that I were dead.
Tho. VVhythorne.
