Praise of certaine psalmes of Dauid, translated by sir T. w. the elder

THe great Macedon, that out of Persle chased Darius, of whose huge power all Asie rong, In the rich ark dan Homers rimes he placed, who fayned gestes of heathen princes song. What holy graue? what worthy sepulture To Wiattes Psalmes should Christians then purchase? where he doth paint the liuely faith, and pure, The stedfast hope, the swete returne to grace Of iust Dauid, by perfite penitence. Where rulers may see in a mirrour clere The bitter frute of false concupiscence: How Iewry bought Urias death full dere. In princes harts Gods scourge imprinted depe, Ought them awake, out of their sinfull slepe.
