The low’ring sky begins again to clear;

And though the tempest yet your eyes affright,

Fair weather may befall you long ere night.

Such comfort speaks our Emblem unto those

Whom stormy persecution doth inclose;

And comforts him, that for the present sad,

With hopes that better seasons may be had.

There is not trouble, sorrow, nor distress,

But mitigation hath, or some release.

Long use or time the storm away will turn,
