For I have more.
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
But swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son
I fear no more.
For I have more.
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;
Which was my sin, though it were done before?
My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun
And, having done that, thou hast done;
Others to sin, and made my sin their door?
A year or two, but wallow'd in, a score?
Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun,
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have won
And do run still, though still I do deplore?
Wilt thou forgive that sin, through which I run,
