II.
Wilt thou forgive that sin, which I have wonne
Others to sin, and made my sins their door?
Wit thou forgive that sin which I did shun
A year or two, but wallowed in, a score?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
For I have more.
III.
I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun
My last thred, I shall perish on the shore;
But swear by thy self, that at my death thy Son
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;
And, having done That, thou hast done,
I fear no more.
