CXCVI. Where tender love mens hearts did move unto a sympathy, ⟨p. 60⟩And bearing part of others smart in their anxiety; Now such compassion is out of fashion, and wholly laid aside: No friend so near, but Saints to hear their judgement can abide.
CXCVII. One natural Brother beholds another in this astonied fit, Yet sorrows not thereat a jot, nor pities him a whit. The godly wife conceives no grief, nor can she shed a tear For the sad state of her dear Mate, when she his doom doth hear.
CXCVIII. He that was erst a Husband pierced with sense of Wives distress, Whose tender heart did bear a part of all her grievances, Shall mourn no more as heretofore because of her ill plight; Although he see her now to be a damned forsaken wight.
CXCVIII. He that was erst a Husband pierc't with sense of Wives distress, Whose tender heart did bear a part of all her grievances, Shall mourn no more as heretofore because of her ill plight; Although he see her now to be a damn'd forsaken wight.
