In the Tower of Sicknesse; a Tower
Of hope and good successe
In the Tower of Despaire; a Tower
Of joy and cheerefulnesse
In the Tower of sorrow; a Tower
Of peace and union
In the Tower of fierce war: a Tower
Of safe Protection
In the Tower of perill; a Tower
Of Grace and Piety
In the Tower of vile Sinne; a Tower
Of Life, eternity
In the Tower of grim death; a Tower
Of Glory and great praise,
In the Tower of suffring: such Tower
God proves to his alwayes.
