And nothing rest, or respite brings,

What help haue we more easing?

Hope which to vs doth comfort giue,

And doth or fainting hearts reuiue,

Hath not such force in anguish:

For promising a vaine reliefe

She oft vs failes in midst of griefe,

And helples letts vs languish.

But Death who call on her at nede

Doth neuer with vaine semblant feed,
