Yet, Bacon, cheere thee, drowne not in despaire:
Sinnes have their salves, repentance can do much;[1548] 100
Thinke Mercie sits where Justice holds her seate,
And from those wounds those bloudie Jews did pierce,
Which by thy magicke oft did bleed a fresh,
From thence for thee the dew of mercy drops,
To wash the wrath of hie Jehovahs ire, 105
And make thee as a new borne babe from sinne.—
Bungay, Ile spend the remnant of my life
In pure devotion, praying to my God
