2 Leave a wretch in whom all woe,

Can abide to keepe no measure;

Merrie Flocke, such one forgoe

Unto whom mirth is displeasure,

Onely rich in measures treasure.

3 Yet alas before you goe,

Heare your wofull Masters storie,

Which to stones I else would showe;

Sorrow onely then hath glorie,

When tis excellently sorie.
