SON. XXIX.

THe powerfull pen the which records thy praise, O Lord of life, hath many volumes made, Thy wondrous works each leafe doth ouerlade, Which aye increase as growing are my dayes, Vnsearchable indeed are all thy wayes, In multitude they number do exceed, In glorie they do admiration breed, Their goodnesse power of recompence denayes. The hungry thou with plenteous hand doest feed, Thy fauour to thy creatures doth not fade. The more in view of all thy works I wade, The more I finde my sense confound indeed, But yet in steed Of Eccho to thy fame, I will giue thanks and laud vnto thy name.
