16 Y tremblinge hande for feare doth
 * my dolour doth excede: (quake)

My ioyes decree to tender teares
 * my portes are turnd in dede

The gredy gulfs of gryly griefe
 * o gripe my retles harte:

That my pore pen can cantly hewe
 * the paions of my marte.

Drawe nere you patrones with your babes
 * come viewe this haples happe:

In fluhing fluddes of kominge teares
 * your tender bewtyes lappe:

Ye matrones milde drawe nere in hate
 * this yrkome acte beholde:

Then Nature hall her rufull playnts
 * by you her Nimphes unfolde.

Eche wight in whom the kilfull kyll
 * of natures arte is hown:

Surrender may themelues to me
 * this cruell acte to mone.

The heapes of griefe o hugie are
 * that obbes mut nedes abounde.

Yea hrilly hrickes to pae the kies,
 * your voyces hall redounde.
