And manners, climates, councils, governments,

And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;”

With all the hopes of future years,

One drop would save my soulhalf a drop! ah, my Christ!
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!
Yet will I call on him!O, spare me, Lucifer!

Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!
Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!”
