[IX. Sweet pittie wake]

Sweet pittie wake, and tell my cruell sweet, That if my death, her honour might increase, I would lay downe my life, my life at her proud feet, and willing dye, and dying, and dying, hold my peace, and onely liue, (and liuing mercy cry) mercy cry, Because her glory in my death, in my death will dye, in my death will dye, in my death, in my death, in my death will dye, will dye.
