Subject(s): Discontent; Dissatisfaction
First Line: No lesse then thankes, I render unto you
Last Line: But geve mee leave, more quietnes to trye.
Subject(s): Discontent; Dissatisfaction
No lesse then thankes, I render unto you,
What? though it be a Beggers bare rewarde
Accept the same: (for Cosyn) this is true,
Tis all I have: my haps they are so hard:
None beareth lyfe, is so from Fortune bard,
But this I know, and hope it once to finde
God can, and wyl, exalt the humble minde.
This simple verce: content you for to take
for answer of your loving letter lardge,
For now I wyll my writting cleane forsake
till of my griefes, my stomack I discharg:
and tyll I row, in Ladie Fortunes barge.
Good Cosin write not nor any more replye,
But geve mee leave, more quietnes to trye.
