Our aery buildeth in the cedar’s top,

265 And dallies with the wind and scorns the sun.

Q. Mar. And turns the sun to shade; alas! alas!

[♦] Witness my son, now in the shade of death;

Whose bright out-shining beams thy cloudy wrath

Hath in eternal darkness folded up.

[270] Your aery buildeth in our aery’s nest.

O God, that seest it, do not suffer it;

[♦] As it was won with blood, lost be it so!

[♦] Buck. Have done! for shame, if not for charity.
