Eleg. 20.
[Thus unbeleeving I did oft enquire]
Thus unbeleeving I did oft enquireOf one, of two, of three, and so of many:
And still I heard what I did least desire,
Yet grounded hope would give no faith to any.
Then at the last my heart began to feare,
But as I credence to my fears was giving,
A voice of comfort I began to heare:
Which to my fruitlesse Ioy, said, Henrie's living;
At that same word my Hope, that was forsaking
My heart, and yeelding wholly to despaire;
Revived straight, and better courage taking,
Her crazed parts so strongly did repaire.
I thought she would have held it out, but vain,
For oh, e'er long she lost it quite again.
