CHORVS
O gratyous Lorde, ohe sauyor dere,
Our onelye hope and all our chere,
Our presente ayde in euerye woe,
...

If the iuste mann seaven tymes eache daye
Ohe Lorde dothe fall, what shall I saye?
Of all iniuste moste sinfull manne

As in a mann a contented mynde.
Fewe thinges with this doe sarue alone,

Whie woulde the Barron an Earles degree?
...

With care to gett waxethe pale and wanne?
Haueinge enoughe whye craues he more?
