16 Alas Lord, as thou hast now had an eye, and straightly marked our sins, which thou doest now make me throughly to feel: so consider this poor creature now changed, condemning that which he hath too long approved, yea judging himself, which is the very mean not to be judged of thee: for ⟨image 21⟩so it pleaseth thee, sith thou hast testified it both by thy word and by effect. I have long slept in so many unhappy pleasures,2 now can I sleep no more by reason of sighing. O ye nights, heretofore witnesses of a thousand thoughts wickedly imagined, and of the unhappy sequel of those thoughts, be ye now witnesses of my wailings. And thou my bed, a bed erewhile of rest very ill employed, be thou throughly moistened now, and swim thou with my tears.
16 Alas Lorde, as thou hast now had an eye, and straightly marked our sinnes, which thou doest nowe make me throughly to feele: so consider this poore creature now changed, condemning that which hee hath too long approoued, yea iudging himselfe, which is the very meane not to be iudged of thee: for ⟨image 21⟩so it pleaseth thee, sith thou hast testified it both by thy word and by effect. I haue long slept in so many vnhappie pleasures,2 nowe can I sleepe no more by reason of sighing. O ye nightes, heretofore witnesses of a thousand thoughtes wickedly imagined, and of the vnhappy sequele of those thoughts, be ye now witnesses of my waylings. And thou my bed, a bed earewhile of rest very ill employed, be thou throughly moystened nowe, and swimme thou with my teares.
- 16 I fainted in my mouruing:6 I faynted in my mouruing:
- 2I cause my bed every night to swim, & water my couch with my tears.
