When a deep groan from beneath
Shall cry, We come, we come, and all
The caues of Night answer one call.

Will sett the World in seuere light.

None can indure; yet none can fly

And to what patron chuse to pray?
When starres themselues shall stagger; and
The most firm foot no more then stand.

VII.

But Thou giu'st leaue (dread Lord!) that we

Take shelter from Thy self, in Thee;

And with the wings of Thine Own done

Fly to Thy scepter of soft loue.

VIII.

Who was the cause Thou cam'st this way.

Thy sheep was stray'd; and Thou wouldst be

Are red without and pale within.

Thy self; and so discharge that day.
It Sin can sigh, Loue can forgiue :
O say the word, my soul shall line.

Those mereyes which Thy Mary found, Or who Thy crosse confes't and crown'd; Hope tells my heart, the same loues be Still alive, and still for me.
