SON. VII.

VVHere shall I finde fit words or proper phrase, Wherewith to witnesse all the loue I owe? Whose gratefull minde in thankfulnesse doth grow, And to the world thy worthinesse would blase: Vnfrutefully the greater ort do gase, Vpon thy workes and blessings they receiue, And carelesly thy honor they bereaue, And suffer chance or wit thy same to rase, Whilst vnacknowledged thy loue they leaue, Forgetting all the gifts thou doest bestow, Whose blinded nature so doth ouerflow, That most vnkind to thee, themselues they show. But since I know By grace thy blessing great, My pen thy praises alwaies shall repeat.
