But yet my faith shall ever be
Whereon mine eyes depend.
The days and moments, and their scope;
The hours, with their changes wrought,
Are cruel enemies to hope,
And friends unto a loving thought.
Thoughts still remain, (as we do see)
And hope shall have an end:
But yet my Faith sha'n't wanting be,
My hope for to defend.
