CCXXXI
[To make an ende of all this strif]
To make an ende of all this strif,
No lenger tyme for to sustaine,
But now withe dethe to chaung the lif
Of him that lyves alwaies in payne;
Dispaire suche powre hathe yn his hande,
That helpith most I kno certeyne
Maye not withstonde.
No lenger tyme for to sustaine,
But now withe dethe to chaung the lif
234
Dispaire suche powre hathe yn his hande,
That helpith most I kno certeyne
Maye not withstonde.
May not withstande that is electe
Bye fortunis most extremytie;
But all in worthe to be excepte
Withouten lawe or libretye;
What vaylithe then vnto my thought?
Yf right can have no remedie,
There vaylith nought.
Bye fortunis most extremytie;
But all in worthe to be excepte
Withouten lawe or libretye;
What vaylithe then vnto my thought?
Yf right can have no remedie,
There vaylith nought.
There vaylithe nought, but all in vaine;
The fawte thereof maye none amende,
But onlie dethe, for to constraine
This spightfull happe to have an ende:
So grete disdaine dothe me provoke
That drede of deth cannot deffende
This dedelye stroke.
The fawte thereof maye none amende,
But onlie dethe, for to constraine
This spightfull happe to have an ende:
So grete disdaine dothe me provoke
That drede of deth cannot deffende
This dedelye stroke.
This dedelie stroke, wherebye shall seace
The harborid sighis within my herte,
And for the gifte of this relese
My hand in haste shall playe his parte,
To doo this cure againste his kinde,
For chaunge of lif from long deserte
To place assignid.
The harborid sighis within my herte,
And for the gifte of this relese
My hand in haste shall playe his parte,
To doo this cure againste his kinde,
For chaunge of lif from long deserte
To place assignid.
To place assignid for ever more,
Nowe bye constrainte I do agre
To loose the bonde of my restore,
Wherein is bounde my liberte;
Dethe and dispaire doth vndretake
From all mishappe now hardelye
This ende to make.
Nowe bye constrainte I do agre
To loose the bonde of my restore,
Wherein is bounde my liberte;
Dethe and dispaire doth vndretake
From all mishappe now hardelye
This ende to make.
