Lord in thy rage rebuke me not, for my most grievous sin, nor in thine anger chasten me, but let me favour win, Have mercy Lord on me, because my state is weak to see, heal me, O Lord, for that my bones are troubled sore in me.

Susanna fair some time assaulted was by two old men, desiring their delight, which lewd intent they thought to bring to pass, if not by tender love, by force and might, to whom she said, if I your suit deny, you will me falsely accuse, and make me die. And if I grant to that which you request, my chastity shall then deflowered be, which is so dear to me, that I detest my life, if it berefted be from me, and rather would I die of mine accord, ten thousand times, than once offend our Lord.

Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. So long as I was in your sight I was your heart, your soul, [and]1 treasure; And evermore you sobb'd and sigh'd Burning in flames beyond all measure: -- Three days endured your love to me And it was lost in other three! Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love, Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love! Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. Another Shepherd you did see To whom your heart was soon enchainèd; Full soon your love was leapt from me, Full soon my place he had obtainèd. Soon came a third your love to win, And we were out and he was in. Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love, Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love; Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. Sure you have made me passing glad That you your mind so soon removèd, Before that I the leisure had To choose you for my best belovèd: For all [your]2 love was past and done Two days before it was begun: -- Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love, Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love; Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.
