XXII. SONET VPPON HOPE HELPS HEVYE HARTES.
Hope helps eche hevye harte saue myne alone;My hope, allas, hathe drownd me in dispaire.
What help haue I? I can but sighe & mone,
And breathe my heavye hartes desyres in ayre;
My tongue cannot my hevye hart declare.
But yett they saye hope helps his frindes at neid,
And courage comfortes hartes besett with care;
We see them want that will not see them bleid.
So, hevye harte, expell from the thy dreid,
For hope shall helpe thy hevye hartes desyre;
They neuer wan̄ that neuer hopt to speid;
Who leavs good hope, good hope of him will tyre:
For when our myndes are thrust with thousand dartes,
Then, then it is, that hope helps hevy hartes.
Finis.
