Psalme CXXXI

VI. Sir Philip Sidney and the Countess of Pembroke

Domine, non est.

A LOFTY hart, a lifted eye,

Lord, thou dost know I never bare:

Lesse have I borne in things to hygh

A medling mind or clyming care.

Looke how the wained babe doth fare,

O did I not? yes, soe did I:

None more for quiet might compare

Ev’n with the babe that wain’d doth lye.

Heare then and learne, O Jacob’s race,

Such endlesse trust on God to place.
