  13. Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay? Repair me now, for now mine end doth haste, I run to death, and death meets me as fast, And all my pleasures are like yesterday; I dare not move my dim eyes any way, Despair behind, and death before doth cast Such terror, and my feeble flesh doth waste By sin in it, which it t'wards hell doth weigh; Only thou art above, and when towards thee By thy leave I can look, I rise again; But our old subtle foe so temptethme, That not one hour my self I can sustain; Thy Grace may wing me to prevent his art, And thou like Adamant draw mine iron heart.

I am a little world made cunninglyOf elements, and an angelic sprite ;But black sin hath betray'd to endless nightMy world's both parts, and, O, both parts must die.You which beyond that heaven which was most highHave found new spheres, and of new land can write,Pour new seas in mine eyes, that so I mightDrown my world with my weeping earnestly,Or wash it if it must be drown'd no more.But O, it must be burnt ; alas ! the fireOf lust and envy burnt it heretofore,And made it fouler ; let their flames retire,And burn me, O Lord, with a fiery zealOf Thee and Thy house, which doth in eating heal.
