14 For him I sadly walk'd, as for A real friend or [loving] brother, ⟨p. 54⟩I heavily bow'd down, as one That mourneth for his [dying] mother.
15 But they rejoiced in my woe, [Combined] vile abjects met to plot; Unknown to me they gathered were, [And they] to tear me ceased not.
15 But they rejoyced in my woe, [Combin'd] vile abjects met to plot; Unknown to me they gathered were, [And they] to tear me ceased not.
16 And not unlike Stage-hypocrites My [cruel] adversaries be; And in their feasts with scoffing jests, They [grind and] gnash their teeth on me.
