GIMEL.

THIS gift, this favour, Lord, on servant thyn bestowe;
That live I may; and live, thy saving grace to knowe,
Yea sacred woord to keep. Then thow myn eys unsele;
And wonders of thy law to groping mynd revele.
I stranger rome on earth; my seat with thee abides:
O hide not heavĕnli way which to thy presence guids.

DESIRE my soule consumes, stil muzing on that path:
Which pride derides; dead pride, devowd to firi wrath.
But thou repell their scorns. Ah zele to sacred law,
From Princes seats did griev'd unprinceli censures draw.
Yet still, I still thy woord in studious thoughts renue:
Sole solace in my griefs, in douts adviser true.
