Nor bee in danger of an overthrow.

My life is full of Stormes; the Waters roule,

As if they meant to swallow up my soule.

The Tides oppose; the furious winds doe roare;

My Cable's weake, my tacklings, Lord, are poore,

And, my fraile vessell cannot long endure;

Yet, reach to mee thy hand, and I'm secure.


That's Friendship, and true-love, indeed,
Which firme abides, in time of need.
