SON. XCIII.

IF I did hope by pen to patterne out The many merits of thy Maiestie, (Which of thy mercies we do daily trie) And endlesse matter I should go about, But I (alas) my strength so much do doubt, That nothing lesse then such a thought I haue, To point foorth others to a thought I craue, Whose confidence in skill is much more stout. Yet dare I say that nature neuer gaue The power to flesh and bloud to looke so hye, Nor gifts of grace, full few there are apply, To giue him laud aright, that did them saue. How to behaue My selfe herein I learne, And wish my will might others likewise warne.
