Therefore, faire Sir, do comfort to you take,
2 And freely read, what wicked felon so
Hath outrag'd you, and thrald your gentle make.
4 Perhaps this hand may helpe to ease your woe,
And wreake your sorrow on your cruell foe,
6 +At+ least it faire endeuour will apply.
Those feeling wordes so neare the quicke did goe,
8 That vp his head he reared easily,
And leaning on his elbow, these few wordes let fly.
