I Sayde I will loke to my wayes, For feare I should go wronge: * 1.1I will take heede all tymes that I, Offend not in my tounge. [verse 2] As with a bit I will kepe fast, my mouth with force and might:Not once to whisper all the whyle, the wicked are in sighte.
[verse 3] I held my tonge and spake no word, but kept me close and still,Yea from good tallke I did refrayne, but sore against my will. [verse 4] My hart waxt whote within my brest, with musing thought and doubte:Whiche did encrease, and stire the fire, at last these words brast oute.
[verse 5] Lorde, number oute my lyfe and dayes whiche yet I haue not past:So that I may be certifyed, how long my lyfe shall laste, [verse 6]
descriptionPage 90
6 Lorde, thou hast poynted oute my lyfe, in length muche like a spanne:Mine age is nothing vnto thee, so vayne is euery man.
[verse 7] Man walketh lyke a shade, and doth in vayne him self annoye,In getting goods, and cannot tell, who shall the same enioye. [verse 8] Now lord sith things this wise do frame what helpe doo I desire:Of truth my helpe doth hange on thee, I nothing elles require.
