SON. XLIX.

MY traitrous heart which long time hath rebeld, Against thy spirit, which should feed me still, A secret counsell in it selfe hath held, To contrarie thy knowne reuealed will: Whose mutinie my sences so do fill With deeds repining to thy holie law, That raging pride and lust lead me to ill, Forgetting tokens of thy wrath they saw; As Dathan and Abyram had no awe Of Moyses and of Aron thine elect, But sought a way thy people how to drawe, And Prophets thine by pride for to reiect: So doth my soule alas thy grace resist, And in the follies of the flesh persist.
